This is the most encompassing breakdown of knowledge from first principles I have ever read. Thank you so much for putting this out there.

From a very satisfied reader!

Have you ever read Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus? I ask because it is written in outline form and it's opening statement is: "1 the world is all that is the case." That's rather like your opening statement, no? It's final statement, however, is somewhat different: "7 Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent."

I have indeed! It is (or was) an inspiration forever in its scope and ambition, and it's impeccable execution. Plus I've always been partial to a structure..

fortunately this "The difficulty of explaining a mental-map to another is due to the lack of communication and comprehension methods adequate to the task, thus ensuring narrative forms are the best we have as map modifier modalities" is incorrect. one can do better than narrative linear language (with proper tools of course) :-) but overwise good structure
