“The map is not the territory.” ~ Alfred Korzybski
“As LiDAR becomes rapidly refreshed, globally available, and directly ingested by machines, the question is no longer what we can measure.
It’s whether humans retain the ability to understand, intervene in, and redirect how those measurements are used over time.
This article focuses on spatial sovereignty, not as a policy position, but as a design discipline, and on why alignment with established standards is becoming a prerequisite for effective scale…”
