@sarahdoingthing tempted to say slang/dialect/lexicon can be landmarks but that blurs with languages in general -
@cwage I was correcting myself on language being edges because they're not *visible* to non-speakers, same for them being landmarks - 12 more replies

@sarahdoingthing If conversations are a kind of path, and being lost is being confused, then nodes are belief states? -
@sarahdoingthing And landmarks are recognizable belief states that you can steer toward, like "established ideologies" or "current fads".

@sarahdoingthing "Lake" is a natural body, but also the region occupied by the lake, yeah? -
@sarahdoingthing It seems like "landmarks" are objects which can be co-located with points or districts, so they're redundant on the list
