Mapping Meaningful Experience
This is a project to make more coherent my thought and lines of thought by improving the categories and tags by which I label them into a sort of an incomplete ‘Contents Map’ of an ‘Octopus Interior’ in much the same fashion we can be said to mapping objective reality with our subjective reality. And if this sort of framework map is never completed, it’s notable that it’s also a map whose quality, meaning and significance shall improve as it becomes more coherent – as more previous and current essays are categorized and tagged with its coherence.
