Route
PendingThe 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.

Three Sisters, the companion-planted trio.
Agronomic rather than chemical. The squash runs along the ground and shades out competition while the maize carries the beans, so the three are planted as one system. The pairing on the plate follows the pairing in the field.
