This atjson thing looks lit! I think that a key issue with legibility in SLAS is the loss of local knowledge (mētis). It doesn't feel like that's what's happening here? Not all production of machine-readable data is a panopticon? (I hope!)

I think the conditions for SLAS legibility are: 1. Large-scale data collection. 2. Must involve categorisation or equivalent loss of individuality (to make 1 tractable). 3. Erasure of local knowledge (due to 2 at scale). No?
