INTRODUCTION: NON-ACADEMIC GRAND MAP
Page0006-Fig01.jpg
Grand Map Content - Non-Academic Information





Information is information.
The mathematical aggregation of ALL finite information
doesn't discriminate as to its importance.


Lets take something that is most likely very important to you: Your biography.

Since every page of text will be generated the subject matter is inconsequential (mathematical methods can be developed that filter subject matter but for now in our introductory discussion the "gates" are wide open to every bit of information we can muster to see what the phenomenon of "everything" means).   Thus, somewhere on the grand map will be a page that can be classified as your personal biographical summary.

In addition there will be similar summaries of every human being that has lived, is living now, and will live (at least for the next tens of thousands of years).   Of course there will be an overwhelming number of biographical text that get it completely wrong on everybody since every variation of text will also be included in the map.   For example there will be pages describing everyone riding on a flying elephant.   So privacy should not be of concern.   It may be that we can easily and quickly generate a representation of all finite information, but discerning its accuracy is a totally different, if not a nearly prohibiting matter.

It gets better, ... and worse!

Detailed markings on every sheet of paper also include drawings that may very well approach photo-realism (depending upon the fineness chosen for the pen tip).   This means every photo-realistic drawing also makes up a vast part of the grand map.   In particular there will exist such "photos" "taken" at every second of every person's existence.   I know, socially abhorrent but this is what happens when being presented with "everything."

Again, every version of every possible photo-drawing of every possible person will also exist, so much so that whatever is accurate is buried deep within all of the inaccurate photo-drawings (billions and billions times more of the inaccurate).   This means that since the value of information on each of the pages within the grand map is not limited then the map can be said to consist of "the good, the bad, and the ugly."   More on that next.
