Wargame boards, from chess to hexagons — when the map becomes the territory:<\/p>\n

\"SPEC<\/a><\/p>\n

**<\/p>\n

Contemplating..<\/p>\n

\n
  • Korzybski<\/strong>: the map is not the territory\n
  • Lao Tzu<\/strong>: the path that can be mapped is not the pathless path<\/li>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    and that second translation is one to set beside my other loose versions after Lao Tzu<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The pronounceable name isn\u2019t the unpronounceable name.\n
  • The flow that can be capped isn\u2019t the overflowing flow.\n
  • The quantity that can be counted is not the unaccountable quality.\n
  • The verbal formulation of x is not the x itself.\n
  • No way the way can be put into words.\n
  • The problem that can be described isn\u2019t our actual situation.\n
  • More I grasp you, baby, more you disappear\u2026<\/li>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    — which i posted here at Zenpundit in one of the posts that has sadly disappearedc, but which can be found — together with some interesting other commentary — on our emergency site, Zenpunditry<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

    At times, the map becxomes the territory, the gameboard becomes the world.<\/p>\n

    The upper image in the DoubleQuote<\/strong> above is a teling detail from Maurits Escher<\/strong>‘s great work, Metamorphosis II<\/a>. The lower image is a screencap of one of the opening shots from The Expendables 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n
