Cloud Theory Glossary
The Dictionary's older name for convergence patterns in which different observers see the same shape forming from different directions.
Cloud Theory is the Dictionary’s older name for convergence patterns in which different observers, incentives, and evidence streams begin to point toward the same shape.
The name survives mostly as a bridge into later, sharper terms: Sixfold Skyreading, Grey Swans, Single-Arrow Fallacy, and Oracle Bones. Its useful idea is still simple: forecasts improve when you watch independent clouds form from different directions rather than staring at one arrow and mistaking it for the weather.
In current usage, Convergence and Sixfold Skyreading carry most of the load. Cloud Theory remains the plain-language handle.
