A map is a graph with positions; a Wardley map is a graph with context

A map is a graph where each node has a place: on a Wardley map, how visible it is and how evolved it is. That is why the graphs chapter and Where do you land belong next to each other; which comes first is Dinis's question.

Decided by. Dinis, in Everything is connected; the editor records it in the vault

Note. Dinis's open question: graphs before Wardley maps, or the other way round? The proposed map puts the graphs chapter just before Where do you land.

Where it comes from

Everything is connected A map is a graph with positions (article)
Where do you land? Wardley maps run through the whole book, shown before they are named, and the first thing a reader should work out is their centre of gravity the Wardley axes (article)

Where it goes

Chapter Everything is connected: graphs, part Before you start (drafting); topic Graphs, memory and your future self.
