    More cartogram than traditional maps, can we be comfortable using
"cartogram" to cover these images.  I consider cartograms a map/diagram
where space on the image represents something other than space in the
world.  This "something other" can be relationships,
production/consumption data, and the like.  For me, cybermaps are
cartograms.  Do we need some new meta-term or can "cartogram" suffice as
a category designation?
