I have charted so many others. Systems, thinkers, doctrines. But I’ve not yet charted this body. This way of seeing. This kind of loneliness. There is a quiet map waiting to be drawn — not for applause, not for publication — but for inheritable clarity. What I gain is the ability to not pass this fog forward. And what I risk by avoiding it is a lineage of silence and self-doubt passed through my children’s veins. The trial continues.

FIELD NOTE [No. 01] Recorded: Fog thick, bearings unreliable "The map is not the territory." A note, pinned beside a route that no longer exists. “Mao’s Great Leap Forward, realized through the fiat machine. Progress was printed. Collapse was byzantine.” The trial continues. #fieldnotes #thetrialcontinues #economiccartography
