      • Solvitur ambulato – it is solved by walking. There's the literal meaning (the common notion of taking a walk when faced with a difficult problem) and metaphorical (solving by demonstration or experiment)
      • Propositional knowledge vs knowledge of doing (procedural, although that is not a term they use). Musical knowledge is obviously of the latter sort.
      • Maps are digital (they are misusing the term, they mean its more objective-global rather than experiential-subjective).
      • Google Maps hasn't mapped anything – eh, that seems stupid to me, sorry. I guess I know what they are saying, but why say it that way? There are multiple ways to view reality and the google maps panopticon is one, kind of a neat one although of course it is no substitute for being there. (Oh they address this head on a bit later when they talk about de Certeau and voyeurism)
      • Embodied cognition. Bateson, Deleuze come up.
      • Conversation (like theirs) as emergent phenom ("problem" in Deleuze, but more like "mystery" to them)
      • Psychogeography and Situationists. A city exists in two places, analog and digital (I think they mean physical and ideational?). La derivee, walking while resisting the urban plan (cops and geography). Reminded me of Omniorthogonal: Strategies Against Architecture
