X : Why are you looking at building a Wardley Mapping foundation?
Me : Hmmm. Ok, to explain this I need to use the map of mapping.
Competition is the act of "seeking together" i.e. groups seeking knowledge, resource or something. There are many forms of competition i.e. conflict (fighting together), cooperation (working together), collaboration (labouring together) ...
Hence on a single map, there maybe areas where I conflict with others and collaborate with others ...
Now, we can also map culture ...
And we can take ideas from that map of culture and apply to a physical map to describe sovereignty and borders ...
We can also take those ideas from the culture map and apply to an economic map to describe digital sovereignty ...
Applying those concepts to the map of mapping simply helps highlight what matters for the community, what we need to protect and hence why we will need eventually a foundation.

"wage war against socialism" ... if only the same zeal was spent on fighting the Conservatives. Alas, as he makes clear, it's about ideology - "wouldn't want Labour to win on a left-wing platform even if I thought it was the route to victory” - independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
X : What is socialism?
Me : It's a system of social organization which promotes that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as represented by a democratically elected Government ...
... it's the opposite of laissez faire where the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned and regulated by the market.

X : Did you leave the Labour party?
Me : Yes, I don't agree with the rule changes to leadership elections.
X : You won't be voting for them?
Me : Of course I will. I prefer Labour to alternatives. I still support my CLP. I just won't fund the party HQ, I don't agree with it ...
... so I'm a Labour voter, I'm just not an active supporter.
X : What about the Greens?
Me : I agree with many of their policies, the deal breaker for me is their anti-nuclear stance.
X : LibDems?
Me : I doubt I'll trust that party in my lifetime.
X : Conservatives?
Me : I'm old Labour, so I quite like One Nation Tories. I've worked on stuff in Gov with them. However, the One Nation were expunged from the party by this current lot who quite frankly are extreme market fanatics combined with a lack of integrity. Zero trust.

X : Are there more stages of evolution on a map?
Me : Not that I found. It took six months of solid work, over 9k publications collect to find the four. This is what went into the cheat sheet. Why?
X : I think there are more.
Me : There might be.
X : What do you think to ...
Me : ... what do I think to? You're not going to just tell me you've named five? Can I repeat the bit about spending six months, working day and night, to build a case for four? Do you have any idea how much effort went into finding these labels?
Me : The collection of publications, the failed experiments with diffusion curves and other models, the frequency analysis of weak signals, the building of the graph between ubiquity and certainty?
X : Touchy?

X : What's the most important thing to do with mapping.
Me : Practice i.e. practice putting your assumptions down, sharing with others and listening to challenge.
X : There must be some theory on how to ...
Me : Theory? Maps is all practice, observation and patterns ...
Me : ... it was born from practice, observation and patterns and it still remains as such today. We're a long long way from a theory of maps.
X : Some maps look quite theoretical.
Me : "theoretical" in the sense that "this map is being used to show a pattern I don't like and hence I'm not going to listen nor accept the challenge but instead dismiss this observation based upon my belief" ... you need to practice more.

X : Is there an official place to learn Wardley Mapping?
Me : No. There are different "dojos" i.e. GCATI dojo, Learn Wardley Mapping dojo ... etc. There is no "official" school or singular point that defines proficiency and nor should there ever be.
X : But GCATI does certification.
Me : Yes, it does. Certificates in the GCATI way of doing Wardley Mapping. Others might also produce certificates (consider them like belts) in their way of doing Wardley Mapping.
X : How do you ensure consistency?
Me : As the field develops people will move (and along with them knowledge) between different schools. The only measure of consistency is through competitions, things like battle camp.
X : So, which one do you bless?
Me : None and all. I have no interest in creating a cult.

Oh dear, a black dog day. Where did that come from?

Waves of self pitying loathing, questioning self worth ... how I've wasted my life, done nothing, achieved nothing ... time to go chop logs with force.

The slog of unpicking irrational thoughts with rational observations ...
... the same mechanism which drives my questioning that I find so useful in day to day life occassionally goes into an irrational overdrive for no reason I have ever been able to discern. I just calm myself with awareness that it is doing this and treat it as some form of reset.
The process of reset ... that mix of physical exercise, the use of quiet observation and reflection to challenge this emergent inner self that is the worst of conspiracy theorists ... a familiar path. For now ...
