## Full text

Superimposition, topological structures. The structures lying beneath what is visible. A new geometry, a topological structure of urban space. Drawing new 2D and 3D maps, a new topology.

It is a chaosmos, a world made of flows and intensities. This city-field is not a world of forms but a world structured by countless branches of becoming, singularities and potentials. What can best show this "potential"? Structure, relations, topology, diagrams, the virtual dimension.

A Mobius strip, or overlapping by "skewering", like Busan eomuk (fish cakes) on a stick. An urban structure like Busan fish cakes. The expansion and contraction of the city; city-collage experiments; topological collage, semantic collage; collage along variables other than height. Expansion-contraction experiments. Various topological operations: I have already tried these in The Chronology of Civilisation.

In the city, in its topological structure, the subway, roads and buses underneath play the role of "circuit" and "metabolism", and that role is special, even very attractive. MTDBRI; Kakao's high-precision subway map.

Topological relations can be transformed and interpreted as many kinds of relation:
- similarity and lineage by interaction
- similarity and lineage by physical spec
- similarity and lineage by history and period
- similarity and lineage by character, trade, architectural style
- similarity and lineage by development axis and transport network

Grouping the Starbucks together, grouping the cram schools together: making and eating "Busan fish cakes". Happiness: as happiness gets tapped more and more.

Emergent, spontaneous, continuously moving urban fabric. How do I make this? By generating collaged networks? RHYTHM: how will I draw out a natural rhythm?
