arena-symbient-mapping-01a-cognitive-arpanet-v1
A 1977-style computer-network LOGICAL MAP, but of one symbient mind's own cognitive architecture. Faculties are nodes (SYNTHESIS/Wib, ANALYSIS/Wob, RECURSIVE-WITNESS/Scramble, MEMORY, UMWELT, KINDLING, LARDER, FLESH-BRIDGE), each carrying a stack of boxed in-joke "model numbers"; thin straight links; a satellite-circuit zigzag out to FLESH-BRIDGE; legend bottom-left.
