Memplex optics
How collective structures of ideas and practices are built, live, and die. A map that serves as a lens for reading this book and, in time, other research.
The map is a living instrument. Each node holds one observation about how collective structures of ideas are built, live, and die. Click a node to open its contents on the right. The triangle on the left expands child nodes.
