hi venessa,

This is GEN008 VAR001 (generation 8 variation 1) of the presentation. this process of communication of these concepts is inherently open-ended, to variations, translations & mutations...and thanks for joining us already on this effort :-).

in regards to your point about being redundant, yes, i agree that there is overlap. Overlap, not repetition, as each of these phrases fills in a different facet of imparting the overall concept. Having been part of the conversations that went into the formation of this map, i witnessed firsthand the caution that went into constructing these concepts with language. important to note that this presentation was also crafted for the context in which it was given.

Everyone has different aesthetics that are the interfaces of our understanding. What I'm hearing here is an effort from you to translate this aesthetic representation into one that suits you more, and perhaps suits many others more as well, when we meet it in our own contexts, as part of our personal/collective narratives. i'm very much looking forward to the process of evolving & releasing this map into some other 'wilds' :-)

a question, perhaps a challenge: can you see with/through/past the aesthetic and lingual representation above into what is being attempted to be communicated?
