A small practice for the wrong-way map

A practical exercise: Label it as make-believe and choose the landmarks that would matter there.

Original practice · Optional exercise · Room for play

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

  1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A map is drawn from a pet's imagined point of view.
  2. Label it as make-believe and choose the landmarks that would matter there.
  3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
  4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
