The viva was interesting as it re-focussed my dissertation on the theoretical work rather than the practice, but using the practice to support the theoretical position. Although delighted to be supported in this way - I had always felt the theoretical material to be too speculative - it did contrast with my belief that I was asking for the examiners to offer their judgment on my practice, and that the theoretical work was there to bring coherence and analysis to it.

You can see the version of my dissertation I submitted  to the examiners and compare it with the final dissertation submitted after making the changes proposed. 

The outcome was surprisingly affirming.

Lewis Carroll describes a fictional map that had:

"the scale of a mile to the mile."

A character notes some practical difficulties with such a map and states that:

"we now use the country itself, as its own map, and I assure you it does nearly as well."
— Sylvie and Bruno Concluded, Lewis Carroll, 1893
