i am a cartographer.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Cartography (from Greek \u03c7\u03ac\u03c1\u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 \"khart\u0113s\", \"papyrus, sheet of paper, map\"; and \u03b3\u03c1\u03ac\u03c6\u03b5\u03b9\u03bd \"graphein\", \"write\") is the study and practice of making maps. Combining science, aesthetics, and technique, cartography builds on the premise that reality can be modeled in ways that communicate spatial information effectively. The fundamental problems of traditional cartography are to:  Modern cartography constitutes many theoretical and practical foundations of geographic information systems. The earliest known map is a matter of some debate, both because the term \"map\" isn't well-defined and because some artifacts that might be maps might actually be something else. A wall painting that might depict the ancient Anatolian city of \u00c7atalh\u00f6y\u00fck (previously known as Catal Huyuk or \u00c7atal H\u00fcy\u00fck) has been dated to the late 7th millennium BCE. Among the prehistoric alpine rock carvings of Mount Bego (F) and Valcamonica (I), dated to the 4th millennium BCE, geometric patterns consisting of dotted rectangles and lines are widely interpreted in archaeological literature as a depiction of cultivated plots. Other known maps of the ancient world include the Minoan \"House of the Admiral\" wall painting from c. 1600 BCE, showing a seaside community in an oblique perspective and an engraved map of the holy Babylonian city of Nippur, from the Kassite period (14th12th centuries BCE).\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Traditionally, cartography is the study and practice of making maps -- but I'd argue that maps can take many forms beyond the traditional geographic.
