The routes are written. They are not yet mapped.

This entry's cultural layer already names where it came from and how it moved. What it does not yet carry is that movement as structure: ordered waypoints with real coordinates, and a mechanism on each leg. Until it does, the layer stays an empty slot rather than a drawn line, because a map built from prose would be a guess with a projection under it.

Kimjang is a season, not a chore. Korean households and neighbourhoods gather in late autumn to make the winter's kimchi together, hundreds of heads of cabbage at a time, and the labour is shared out along lines of family and obligation. UNESCO lists the practice rather than the dish, which is the right emphasis: what is being preserved is the gathering. In Central and Eastern Europe the same vegetable was salted into the same insurance against the same winter.
