How can you relate a wider variety of elements?

Discussion
Relating a wider variety means relating elements which are more different or more diverse. Elements may be quite different or diverse, or even surprisingly different or diverse. Elements may be more different or more diverse from each other, as well as from elements you are currently considering or relating. However, this wider variety of elements should share some common elements or relationships with your current element or proximity or situation. Relating a variety of elements may require or benefit from some other ProxPatterns.

Examples

Stories
Stories communicate ideas, emotions, history, personalities, information, approaches to life, etc. A story connects a wide variety of such elements, and makes them memorable.

Democracy
Democracy is a system which helps relate a wide variety of viewpoints and perspectives. Freedom of speech, representative government and voting are part of what helps democracy relate to variety.

User Interfaces
The graphical user interface we use on Windows and Mac computers relates to a wider variety of users than the early text-only command line.
