My latest on Interplace looks at place and grid cells in the brain, how their presence hints at both Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry, and spatial computations inspired by both. H/T to @shaneomara for his contributions in neuroscience and place cells.
And Ed Manley @universityofleeds.

Inspiring work from Ed Manley on a plea for advancing complexity and non-Euclidian geography and Nik Lomax on democratizing data with synthetic population estimation for micro spatial simulation.👏

Three-stage process of trauma associated with disruption of place:

1️⃣Pre-disruption: Anticipating possible outcomes or imagining potential futures.
2️⃣Disruption: Immediate feelings of anxiety and grief from loss or disruption.
3️⃣Post-disruption: Anxiety associated with adapting to change.

What is it about place that makes people want to defend it or upend it like a battlefield? Why not append it or amend it like a constitution? Or tend it and mend it like a garden?
