Appreciating this invitation! Noticing it also constructs a map asking us to go beyond maps. Perhaps maps can be part of the territory, and the boundary between the two softens in solidity while still arising in appearance. Some musings in reflection to your lovely piece :)

yes my friend! for sure! maps are incredible and included! as i wrote:

"This explosion of β€˜hyper-meaning’ includes all possible human maps or meanings as valid perspectives while also revealing infinite subtle nonverbal meaningfulness that cannot be mapped or contained in any structure. Hyper-meaning transcends and includes all articulable meanings."
