Explanation
A Māori concept of genealogy and layered relations connecting people, places, knowledge and worlds. Its historical and functional boundary remains explicit in the source layer.
Example
The profile makes the form tangible through an original atlas example.
Counterexample
A mere label without the movement of thought characteristic of Whakapapa.
Effect on thought and perception
Frames identity as layered relationship.
Resonance
Makes identity appear as a layered relationship. The concept thereby gains a verifiable place in the relational network.
