Starting to rough out a new map, my first attempt since the 2015-2016 one. Considering a left-to-right narrative time scheme with archipelago in a river-of-time

Dark blue archipelago is Covid, dark green is climate, other colors are non-frame islands. Black hashing is void flow. Did you know the void could flow? Little known fact. The black-hole-like vortices we often use as metaphors for the void are just localized nexuses of suckage.

The allegorical river-of-void-flow around archipelagos is a cross between Sankey diagrams and transition to turbulence/wake vortex shedding phenomena. I first tried this kind of visualization ~2017 in my post “prolegomena any dark age to psychohistory.”

A thing that's been growing with me more recently is a a sort of neo-modernist terraforming sensibility, so the specific kind of water river that's been on my mind is something like the Duwamish river in Seattle, or Los Angeles river, both heavily industrialized.
