	~~Litho<em>graph</em>ica~~ is three things: a catalog of [[:Category:Hue-format fake Items\|signifiers and objects]], a [[:Category:Thesis portals\|research notebook]], and an old-school [[:Category:Wavebuilder ontology\|simulation]] of discovery processes and philosophies. The word "processes" in the plural is important — every reasonable route to land at one thing from another which feels worth noting is traced through separately. Different tracks of reasoning are coded into different parallel [[:Category:S2 Double-Signifying Statements\|propositions]]; different philosophies or fields of knowledge may be coded in [[:Category:Item colors ontology\|different colors]]. Everything begins with one big, weird treasure hunt to find particular motifs and observations that really matter. You pin them up on a board. You break seemingly-simple units down into constellations of smaller dots and begin connecting the dots. You make several constellations into a bigger constellation. Ultimately, you will learn not just <em>how to~~</em>~~ reason, but how all of us <em>already~~</em>~~ reason, and how each of those forms of reasoning part from properly understanding the ongoing tumult of objects and processes they came out of. You may be surprised at how precise the processes of language can be if only they were [[~~redlink -~~ ontological model / physics equation?\|used for good]]. But when things get tough, or you simply want a break to make things the way you want to, you can also [[~~redlink -~~ Wavebuilder dictionary\|create your own graph file]] with anything in it. Analyze the rhetorical or narrative structure of existing works, or put up your own speculative "thesis" consisting of articles, essays, or short stories where the purpose of your maps is not to get lost.
