all sorts of maps

Mapping is probably my main future interest in life.

I use the word map to cover a wide spectrum from:

what anyone in the same debate needs to see as common connecting flows scribbled onto one piece of paper -eg this is the start of an end of malaria map http://www.ned.com/group/econo-p olitics/news/6/ its purpose is rather like a survey: if you could add one postit answer or question to the next version of this communal map what would it be? equally if you care about malaria truth but do not find this one pager of use, what one pager do you want to share with us so we can translate your peer networkers conversations with ours? (could not any long running con versational thread at ned do with some sort of updating one page visual map edited in at the top? as well as links to neighbouring thread - do you start to see a meta-map rising to help guide all our communal flows?

another simple noughts and crosses map surveys who links around vital people - in my future work the life of mandela http://changeafrica.blogspot.com / is as crucial to weave as many application networks around as anyone I can imagine- this is only one plot which enable me to at least recall who is already known to weave empowerment contexts around Nelson- equally the first missing name that come to mind when you see it is exactly the survey information I wish you'd share with me if we are both mappers of all the collaboration goodwill that mandela alumni and peer to peer vocational training courses could compound

another type of mapa ask: are we goverining everything we work round (-wish to live for), as well as our childrens' own human learning curves around sustainability investment expoentials (aka unseen wealth), or boxed-in short-term addictions/distractions that have been an organsiational obessession since the spreadshet became Gates' killer application of internet world - sustainability exponential governance and its entrepreneurial revolution truths are quite a controversial area of mapping so one I need some time to prepare a link to

another map suggests that the way the human brain recalls any identity is such that it links dozens of other reinforcing identities (in other word nothing you recall is separated from other stuff you recall) - what becomes interesting is if we agree 100% of us worldwide have heard of -eg olympics - will the next 5 things that come to my mind and yours be similar; if so we are likely to have common sorts of conversations quite quickly on olympics http://worldclassbrands.tv http://passports.jp ; now lets move from something fun but trivial, to something life-critical eg poverty - will we start with the same associations in mind on that context http://ecomap.tv ? how differently will we be able to network depending on this mapping (commons awareness) question?
