The document introduces visual thinking as a way to facilitate thought processes and establish a common language through visual approaches. It defines visual thinking and nodes/links as basic concepts. It provides exercises to have the reader draw a diagram of a toaster and identify nodes to understand modeling and storytelling. The document suggests visual thinking allows one to understand existing models and repurpose models by removing context.
