Networked Thinking

I think that "networked" provides a much more useful term than "non-linear" when applied to the thought processes that so many creative people use. Non-linear can easily seem like a jagged line, whereas a network conjures up the much more useful image of a web of interactions that can be pulled on at any number of nodes, with really fantastic results. The trick comes in turning the networked thought process into a series of linear actions in the physical world.
