Regions of Interest

Explorers Foundation is a kind of freeorder generator, or forge, that seeks to form an image of the whole of the emergence of freeorder. This impossible but interesting and productive task is the domain of integrating forges.
Imagine this image as a large mural where some areas are still blank and some begin to show brush strokes or dot of color (as in a pointillist painting). The entire mural, blank portions, and active portions, is described by a list of regions of interest. The active portions are so because that interest has found a way to manifest itself in learning, action, and investment. Regions are active because of the presence of at least one vortex.
