  • The process of a new thing differentiating itself from the old thing is called schismogenesis.
    • As the new thing buds off from the old, it goes out of its way to differentiate itself, to reject characteristics of what it came from and put distance between them, to individuate.
    • This process is how new art forms emerge, but also how teenagers rebel from their parents.
