"[T]he great city is the best organ of memory man has yet created" - Lewis Mumford

If the city is a database of human culture through the ages than generative psychogeography is the query best suited for weaving unconnected facts into a logical dataset.

This is an example of the .walk software psychogeographers will be running during the experiment .

This experiment is Phase 0 in the eventual construction of the UGPC (Universal Generative Psychogeographical Computer).
