Task: Update Refs from [7] The Mandorla to [7] The Matrix
After conversation with several people, I’m renaming “the mandorla” to “the matrix”. I can’t find where I read it, but somewhere I encountered a claim that misogynistic sentiments in medieval times lead the symbol, called vesica piscis (lit. measure of a fish in Latin) or matrix (lit. “mother”), to be renamed mandorla (lit. “almond” in Italian) to avoid allegedly vulgar references to the womb.
Given the shapes role in the inception, growth, and evolution of systems, matrix seems a better fit for systems thinking. It’s also not bad that its connected to systems thinking though in a SciFi way due to movies that bear the name.
I do have lot of references to the madorla out there already, however. So its going to take some work redoing all those. Here’s my short list of TODOs:
[ ] redo the titling on the SVG frame itself.
[ ] redo the links in all frames that reference the old name. Perhaps the most efficient way to do this is to open all SVGs in a text editor and then do a search/replace of the link URL.
[ ] search the site for reference to mandorla and rename to matrix.
