A diagram for kinship

I’ve developed this diagram to better understand how kinship might work. If that is the starting point, then I imagine kinship is developed through nostalgia. Nostalgia, in turn, can only exist as a result of lived experience. And that lived experience, when combined with the lived experience of others (especially when engaging in similar things, i.e. playing, watching or following cricket) forms collective memory, which feeds back into kinship.
