science

“science speculates, to resolve the composition of territory to map; engineering speculates to re-compose territory from applicable maps”

However where science narrows perspective to isolate every finer distinctions, engineering must always consider the broader context, within which any re-composed territory must survive.

“criticism of x is no more ‘anti x’, than filing a bug report is ‘anti-software’”

Science (the scientific endeavour at large), has become “the study of distinction, above all else”. And as a result: our disciplines are isolated; our maps fundamentally irreconcilable.

Irreconcilable maps distort perception, by framing discontinuity as feature.

Perceptive distortions obscure – as each expanse of “representational negative-space”, is collapsed by our perceptive lens – “to optimise what we know, right now – to survive”
