One of These Days

The structure of our memories is related to topography and landscape as well as language and architecture. Topography remembered is a kind of knowledge. This kind of knowing, like gesture precedes language, is generally felt before it is thought, and sets the context for our models of mind that structure our imaginations. We are consistently surprised when we see suddenly, as if for the first time, these structures appear in the things that we build. The degree to which this basic relationship is subsumed in our peripheral awareness is related to the degree of our surprise when we suddenly discover metaphors of mind in the way that a computer “thinks” or the beauty and complexity of how a city “evolves.”
