\caption{A heuristic map of the features of serendipity introduced in  Section \ref{sec:by-example}. The central black line traces first  the process of \emph{discovery} in which an initial trigger combines  with mounting curiousity curiosity  to effect a \emph{focus shift}, followed by a process of \emph{invention} in which a prepared mind draws on  various resources and makes use of its powers of sagacity to find a bridge to  a valuable result. In a typical chaotic fashion, paths that are initially nearby can have very different outcomes: some end
