This article explores the innovative use of NFT Parcels and Map Asset NFTs in the Upland platform as cognitive mind maps. By integrating spatial cognition, memory enhancement theory, and decentralized infrastructure, Upland allows creators and communities to design, own, and interact with digital property in a way that mirrors real-world cognitive mapping and long-term investment strategy. We specifically relate Upland’s transition from EOS to its own App Chain, community-driven governance, and draw analogies with Warren Buffett’s investment philosophy to contextualize the utility and vision behind these blockchain-native assets.
