What if all labelling and signs faded over time....
Would we become more organised? Would form become the ultimate indicator of an objects true nature?
Would the mens toilet door always be bigger than the womens?
Examples of new and existing rules of organisation:
- Salt must be kept on the left with Pepper on the right. However, there already is form implied labelling: salt often only has one hole in the top of its dispenser, whilst pepper has three.
- Fire stations have red doors. Nothing else can have a red door.
- Hot taps are on the left and cold taps are on the left
- What would happen with books? Would you have to look inside to know what was inside? Would organisation be far stricter? How would transient memory work? Would the labels only last long enough for us to get them home and into our own organisational system. Would we buy less books?
