Quantification vs Chronologicalization

A timeline is a type of graph which shows important events and dates as they relate to the passage of time. This type of quantification is known as chronologicalization. It can be used to explain how certain events in the past helped cause each other and also to help predict what might happen in the future, much like a weather forecaster uses statistical data to guess what time the sun might rise the next day. If you study graphs and history, you might be the next Mao Tse Tung or even a state senator from your home prefecture!
