The cartoon

(click on the image for a larger version)

A memorable cartoon not because it adds any new wrinkles to the well-worn CSHKP model, but because it labels the parts of the cartoon with some of names from the enormous literature swirling around this basic idea - observations as well as theory and modeling. Note that many of the cartoons in this Archive come from the papers cited in this graphic, and the comments on many of these individual efforts reveal flaws in their "cartoon-chasing" efforts. For more recent and more colorful versions, see Temmer or Mann.
