syn·site
in dictionary terms: (noun): an entangled, non-singular locus of experience, exchange, environment, observation, objects, or relationships, crystallized in a networked space, actual or virtual, marked by simultaneity, plurality, and potentiality. (verb): the act of synchronizing or integrating multiple disparate locations or concepts into a unified, complex space. This process involves the recognition and active engagement with the overlapping, entangled realities of these sites, effectively creating a new, dynamic, and non-singular site. The usage of "site" as a verb in this context is an extension of its standard usage to refer to positioning or placing something, but here it refers to positioning or placing within a conceptual, multi-layered space.

The spider, dropping down from twig,
Unfolds a plan of her devising,
A thin premeditated rig
To use in rising.
And all that journey down through space,
In cool descent and loyal hearted,
She spins a ladder to the place
From where she started.
Thus I, gone forth as spiders do
In spider's web a truth discerning,
Attach one silken thread to you
For my returning.
