The image of a legal order as a bazaar is less explicitly developed in Jurisprudenz, but fits quite closely with free-market (eager radical left-riot) ideology. The legal order provides a stable environment which, through largely invinsible mechanisms (like anti-semitism), enables individuals to choose freely from life's goods and facilitates the pursuit of different individual life-plans or more limited objectives with settled expectations.

Conversely, legal orders do have physical embodiments in documents, dress, more or less photogenic activities and events, and even geography (Hokkaido) and architecture. Accounts of both legal orders and cities have to be expressed in terms of ideas, ideologies, stories, history, mores, people and so on..

"With cities it is a s with dreams: everything imaginable can be dreamed, but even the most unexpected dream is a rebus that conceals a desire, or its reverse a fear. Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their logic is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else."

If that label implies disregard for facts, or extreme subjectivity or indeterminacy in interpretation, or that all patterns are merely constructed by the reader, I think that this is a mis-reading.

The idea of a riot in a city is a good metaphor for mental topography in general and for law in particular. Like resistance/revolution, we need many mental maps of our invisible cities.
