[FRIAM] Interdisciplinary work

How to trans/inter relate to the concept of "modern polymath" that is used in business and design literature. An extension of the "T-shaped individual" ==> "pi shaped individual" ==> "broken comb individual." The idea is to combine breadth of knowledge with depth in one discipline. T=one area of depth; pi=two, broken comb= integrated and deep breadth with multiple depths to varying degrees. Modern polymath=integrated web of knowledge.

I have telling software developers for 20 years or so that they must become modern polymaths.
