Agree they matter, bc they are their own content, but content matters too, bridges to nowhere don't matter. So more not applicable, that's a sentiment stemming from their usually being more connections than nodes, and if connections are nodes of a sort, they are more plentiful than original nodes. A given, not a measure of quality / importance. #openvraag when you expand a link to be nuggets of info, how would you link to a link, i.e. link to a relation. Which is different than link to either endpoint of a relation. And by extension, how to link to a constellation [[Gestalten and Constellations above Crumbs 20200426111123]] [[Nodal point als de Gestalt zien in de data 20240327100507]]

To what extent in this process is the client reconfiguring and refocusing on their relationship with those around them? Does the past have absolute process (in the Zulu incarnation)? It obviously may not in the Western practice, but perhaps the client may more easily come to terms with those around them as a result, and this is more beneficial than a "truer" outcome?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Constellations

The focus of family constellations seems to be placing people with respect to not only their surroundings, but their family, ancestors, and those who create the web of the world around them.

Relationship of stars to stories and people to each other (ancestors).

As above, so below...

Reflection of the skys to the earth and to its peoples

Indigenous cultures can "see" dark constellations (example: the Australian emu in the sky) which are defined empty spaces which are explicitly visible.

Using this concept, one could think of or use blank index cards in a zettelkasten or even the empty (negative) spaces between cards as "dark ideas" (potential ideas which need to be thought of and filled in).

This is a great story, but interestingly, without the appropriate art to explicitly map the idea onto, it's much harder to remember or to help those unaccustomed to these ideas. Presumably the audience of this book doesn't/wouldn't.

A simple drawing here or an overlay onto an existing image would be immensely helpful. Perhaps the Robinson reference has one? (it doesn't)

Dark constellations are dark patches amidst brighter portions of the Milky Way in the night sky which are visible to the naked eye.

Historically they were viewed by Indigenous peoples of Australia as well as Incans.

The emu in the sky is an example from the southern hemisphere. Its 'body' is outlined by Scorpius and Sagittarius and its 'head' is known as as the Coalsack Nebula.

Another example is the Great Rift.

Perhaps you could memorize all the constellations and potentially see if they could serve as double duty?

I've found The Stars: A New Way to See Them by H.A Rey (yes, the creator of Curious George) to be a comprehensive list with a tremendous number of pictures, charts, useful stories, mythology, etc. for memorizing all the major constellations and many of the common star names and related data. It's ostensibly aimed at a novice audience, but one might also think he was targeting the mnemonists among us as well.

Should it help in your researching image formation, the phenomenon you mentioned is called pareidolia.
