The Undersea Network

evidence

Named as the scholarly authority behind this pack's argument that modern cable routes are inherited from nineteenth-century telegraph geography — routes that followed existing trade and colonial networks and the affordances of local topography — and that landing points persist because the constraints that chose them persist. V55 verification basis: NOT read in this session; the argument is taken from retrieved reviews and summaries of the book. It is also a work with a definite interpretive position, treating cable geography as a political and cultural inheritance rather than an engineering optimum, and it is cited here as one reading.

A evidence is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
