Tanglegram is a diagram of interrelation that appears from entanglement of multiple diagrams.* Instead of force-fitting various heterogeneous systems into the most hegemonic one, tanglegram allows representation of complexity by acknowledging diverse diagrams. We find this diagrammatic idea especially suitable for visualizing diverse economies. While diverse economists see a need to consider more-than-humans in models of earthly economies, we insist their relationships can be considerately represented through tanglegrams. Such economic theories and the diagrammatic method can mutually reinforce each other.
