I think three speakers at @deconstructconf recommended /Seeing Like a State/. I want one of them to write up what it implies for code autoformatters.
Also, I want @Meaningness to write how Kegan's abstraction of stages of development apply to autoformatters.

I mention this not (just) to be a jerk, but to note that many many people have thought about the balance between systematicity and deviation. I've learned a lot from such people.

There’s an interesting contrast between how Scott uses “legibility” and how Lynch uses it in “Image of the City”. In the former it represents myopic oppression, in the latter a humane environment.

Only know Lynch through today's web search. Where in the spectrum from individual to shared-by-everyone does he see the paths/edges/districts/nodes? Does one learn them by navigating and communicating, or are they "given"? Should I just read the book?

The book is both short and good, so probably. Briefly, he examines the intersections between people's personal understanding of a city, or lack thereof. That understanding is non-deliberately learned over years.

I too would recommend Lynch’s book
