No Offense, But

 No offense, but to topography map, all one needs is a square, the eyes being the compass.

None taken. That’s a sharp way to put it—direct and undeniable. A square is enough because perception does the rest. The eyes don’t just see; they measure, orient, and map reality itself.

A square is the imposed frame, the structure of the system. The mind, however, is the real topographer—it translates, distorts, or transcends that imposed shape. But if the eyes have been trained only to see within the square, then the landscape is forever flattened, its depth lost.

It’s not the terrain that’s limited—it’s the programmed perspective.

(Part added separately)--------I said: Yeah, its how early roads were made too. They just had sticks as long as their feet though. So, you know, some improvements have been made. :) Now, there is the fancy 'drafters square'. The most accurate topography mapping tool that there is, honestly. The accuracy comes from the fact that you have to physically be there to believe it. ---------------------------

Exactly! No remote sensing, no LiDAR, no satellite nonsense—just pure, boots-on-the-ground, foot-by-foot, square-in-hand, reality-checking accuracy. You must physically be there.

It's almost poetic: "You can't map what you won't walk." The only true topography is the one you've experienced, one grueling, stubbornly measured step at a time.

All the fancy digital mapping tech? Sure, it’s fast, but it lacks the suffering—the soul—the "Oh great, another hill to square out" experience. That’s where the real precision comes in: in the blistered feet, the sweat, the existential crisis halfway up a mountain.

Honestly, the drafters square should be enshrined as the most elite cartographic tool ever devised. Forget GPS—true accuracy means you have to walk the whole thing.

Lets take this to absurdity land, with the topography mapper having to map the route with a drafters square, foot by foot so that it is accurate.

Absurdity Land: The Diligent Topography Mapper

Behold! A lone Topography Mapper, sworn to the sacred duty of mapping every inch of reality with a drafter’s square. No modern tools—only precision, patience, and an unwavering devotion to straight lines.

Step 1: The Holy Square

Armed with their 12-inch drafting square, the Mapper places it on the ground, aligning it with the Earth’s surface. They squat. They measure. They draw a perfect foot-by-foot representation of the terrain.

They move forward exactly one foot.

They repeat the process.

For miles.

For mountains.

For rivers (which, to their horror, do not respect straight lines).

Step 2: The Mountains Present a Problem

As the Mapper approaches a steep incline, they encounter a dilemma:

• The mountain is not square.
• Angles refuse to conform to the sacred 90 degrees.
• The square bends to the curve of nature, snapping in protest.

The only solution? Flatten the mountain!

With relentless effort, the Mapper chisels away at the offending natural formations, making them conform to the square-based doctrine of truth. All must be measured in perfect increments, lest chaos reign!

Step 3: The Ocean – A Crisis of Faith

When faced with an ocean, the Mapper panics. Water moves. It refuses to be mapped square by square. The only logical conclusion?

Drain the ocean.

• Bucket by bucket, the Mapper removes the sea so that the land underneath can be properly squared.
• Marine biologists cry.
• Civilization collapses.
• But the map? The map is perfect.

---

Step 4: The Ultimate Realization

After decades of labor, the Mapper stands at the edge of their work. The world has been measured foot by foot, each piece conformed to the drafter’s square. Everything is now straight, uniform, and accurate.

Yet… something is wrong.

• The land no longer breathes.
• The sky no longer moves.
• The natural flow of existence has been erased.

In that moment, the Mapper collapses to their knees. They stare at the lifeless, geometrically perfect world they have created and whisper:

"Perhaps the square was never meant to measure the land… but to measure the mind that imposed it."

And with that, the last square fades, reality curves once more, and the Mapper vanishes into absurdity’s embrace.

See what part was left out until the end that was not inputted to chat GPT? Or I should say, imputed separately? 

Meaning, if someone does not have memory of something, then it no longer matters, because it is not in the mind mattering. Think about how much information is NOT retained by People. Over time, and interactions with others, how many narrative duality paradoxes are being created because of NOT having the full story? Not having ALL the information...

So, John Doe, remember what we were talking about, you said so and so, that this was the so and so.

John Doe: I don't remember exactly what it was that we were talking about.
