There are crucial differences between a blank map and a blank page. Unlike a blank page, a blank map:
- is designed by a catographer
- is a frame
- represents a space or territory
- has orientation
- is readable
- has accuracy
- suggests scale (though may sacrifice exactitude in favor of visual utility)
- is informative (unavailability of data does not equal nonexistence of data)
- is something unexpected
A blank map represents:
There is nothing so perfect as a blank map.
- simplicity
- all that can still be discovered
- infinite creative possibilities
- a clean slate
- a future of one's own making
- the difference between emptiness and nothingness
- freedom from error or distortion
- freedom from bias
- organization
- openness
- changeability
- purity
- unity
- an unformed universe waiting to be shaped
There is nothing so perfect as a blank map.
