【 Linear problem solving 】
A problem-solving method based on linear causality.
By tracing causality back in a linear fashion and removing or changing the ultimate cause that has been arrived at, the result is changed and the problem is solved.
【 Circular Problem Solving 】
A problem-solving method used when the cause and effect relationship is a loop, as in the Chicken and Eggs relationship.
Change the perception of the problem, not eliminate or change the ultimate cause
Bring change to a vicious circle and indirectly change the problem.

Cause and effect are in a loop. In the case of a growing tree, the top one reappears at the bottom.
