Detailed image description of the sketchnote

  • Days since last timezone issues: 0

Parallel Concepts

  • Coordinates and Meridians
  • Spatial vs temporal
  • Both use raw numbers
  • Calendars are maps of time
  • Humans are messy...
  • Everything is arbitrary!
  • Trust the map!
  • Things on a map have an "address"
  • Specific names may not exist, even though they look right
  • Names are well-intentoned and ultimatively meaningless
  • Cardinal = Name
  • Ordinal = Offset
  • Offsetting is generally safe
