This is a diagram of an enzyme. Enzymes are shaped to fit with substrates, sort of like how a puzzle piece in a puzzle set can only be put into a certain slot in order to create the desired image.
I believe that this diagram can be used to represent how shared knowledge is formed on a large scale. The different bits of personal knowledge that exists within a community all are distinct and have different traits, much like how the diagram shows distinctive patterns for the two different shapes. However, these all fit together very well, since these are the areas of knowledge where people agree upon. So, when all of these bits and pieces of personal knowledge that are agreed upon are put together, shared knowledge is the result.
