hm. Does this replace the Sephirotic Tree of Life as the ultimate map of everything? If so, it benefits by having two fewer nodes. I'm not sure, but I think it could be rearranged (while preserving the topology) into a symmetrical figure analogous to its predecessor.
Or maybe it's like a Rorshach inkblot test... insane people see only lines and thumbnails, sane people see more than what's there. Here's my hint for reading it: don't take each picture to mean one thing consistently, like the 'thumbs up' sign means different things in different countries. Instead, take each _association_ to mean something, and then interpret the pictures in light of that.
It's less theological than personal...although the different nodes are pretty archetypical and probably represented in the life of every human being, the connections are not necessarily. I suppose that it would be a Sephirotic Inkblot--the way that someone else connected the nodes would tell you how they see the world.
...that's right, I forgot to label it. Then yeah, the associations are pretty much the only thing you've got to go on, and who knows what someone might take the pretty blue flowers or the clip-art rat to represent.
