This post on cultural sediment examines how academia readily engages abstract cosmologies yet resists treating myths as possible residue of real events such as displaced oceans, geomagnetic flips, or abrupt climate ruptures. Symbolism functions here as compressed transmission of trauma that lacked instruments for direct recording, allowing stories to carry forward what measurements could not.
For anyone modeling true polar wander, these scattered cultural layers may align with simulation outputs rather than being set aside as noise, suggesting that synthesis of fragments could illuminate patterns of episodic instability.
