I saw a mysterious fiducial marker in the sidewalk near a ridge top in North Seattle and I immediately thought of @ingrid and the visible marks of mostly invisible systems of civic technology.
I think it says "terrane control" and is perhaps about surveying hillslope slippage.

Just reminding you from Nottingham that Robin Hood was madey uppey but the Luddites were real 🔨💥
And it wasn’t the Sheriff of Nottingham who tried to stop them. They sent army units (failure), then hired spy cops and made smashing a frame punishable by death.
