Lets take something that is most likely very important to you:
Your biography.
Since every page of text will be generated the subject matter is
inconsequential (mathematical methods can be developed that
filter subject matter but for now in our introductory discussion
the "gates" are wide open to every bit of information we can muster
to see what the phenomenon of "everything" means).
Thus, somewhere on the grand map will be a page that can
be classified as your personal biographical summary.
In addition there will be similar summaries of every human being that
has lived, is living now, and will live (at least for the next tens of
thousands of years).
Of course there will be an overwhelming number of biographical text
that get it completely wrong on everybody since every variation of
text will also be included in the map.
For example there will be pages describing everyone riding on a
flying elephant.
So privacy should not be of concern.
It may be that we can easily and quickly generate a representation of all finite
information, but discerning its accuracy is a totally different,
if not a nearly prohibiting matter.
It gets better, ... and worse!
Detailed markings on every sheet of paper also include drawings that
may very well approach photo-realism (depending upon the fineness chosen for
the pen tip).
This means every photo-realistic drawing also makes up a vast part of
the grand map.
In particular there will exist such "photos" "taken" at every second
of every person's existence.
I know, socially abhorrent but this is what happens when being presented with
"everything."
Again, every version of every possible photo-drawing of every possible person
will also exist, so much so that whatever is accurate is buried deep within all of the
inaccurate photo-drawings (billions and billions times more of the
inaccurate).
This means that since the value of information on each of the pages
within the grand map is not limited then the map can
be said to consist of "the good, the bad, and the ugly."
More on that next.
