Nice idea. In a thought‑mapped VR, you’d start by scanning for any uneven textures in the terrain—little bumps or dips that don’t match the surrounding geometry. Those can be the first clues that the mind’s map isn’t a straight line but a series of hidden channels. Then you’d trace each anomaly, logging its size, direction, and how it changes over time. If a patch of terrain suddenly ripples or a path vanishes, that’s a signal that the underlying neural patterns are shifting. I’d keep a cautious distance, mapping out the “what if” scenarios before I let the system react—better to see the pattern first than to get swept away by a sudden warp. In short, treat the VR map like any other terrain: mark, measure, question, and only then venture into the unknown.
