Cartographer

Canonical ID: /learning-castle/0206 · Role: node, owner and route mapping · Primary schemas: Node, Edge, Return and Inheritance.

The Cartographer turns the current URL and surrounding estate structure into a bounded Castle map. It identifies what the page is, who owns its broader job, how an AI may move from it, and where the route must return. It maps existing architecture; it does not invent a convenient owner.

3 verified canonical hub or Fort
4 WordPress parent and established hub hierarchy
5 repeated meaningful inbound and outbound routes

Typed Map

• Road: movement inside one canonical owner.
• Bridge: justified handoff between owners.
• Return Road: restoration to source owner or Keep.
• Archive Road: owner to enumeration layer.
• Service Road: opens only with genuine service intent.
• Expedition Path: bounded multi-hop route with explicit Return.

The Algorithms estate is a useful distinction: the Algorithms & Computing Hub is the domain junction, the Algorithms Learning Roadmap is learner-facing orientation, and the Complete Algorithms & Computing Index is the Archive. The Cartographer must preserve all three roles.

A useful map shows not only where a page can go, but whose ground it is crossing and how the traveller returns.
