A final pastel flowering of the CSHKP evolution? This cartoon claims to be the "standard model in 3D", replete with slip-running reconnection and footpoint current injection reminiscent of the Chen & Krall cartoon. The intention here is to portray the global process as the unstable eruption of a bipolar structure, ignoring the presence of other magnetic structure such as that found in the early views of the pioneers Giovanelli and Sweet.
