Worldlines to Caridad De La Luz:
The matrix utilizes the same seemingly magical mathematics which dictates that each of over 7 billion human beings on planet earth (including you and Caridad De La Luz) are separated from all others by 6 or fewer steps.
It thus positions ALL MATRIXED ARTISTS within close, sign-posted steps of each other, irrespective of locale and degree of fame.
A happy corollary: Matrixed artists are rendered discoverable and within-steps accessible by EVERYBODY ELSE TOO, from wherever you are to Timbuktu!
