‘Just what is Max attempting to do?’

Due to the scope and considerable scale of my current project ‘Wonder’ - and a desire not to spoil the surprise - I won’t be able to show you any specifics of what I am working on for a while. Instead I have prepared this diagram to assure you, dear reader, that the dead air by no means signifies that I have given up work, and to vaguely answer the question ‘Just what is Max attempting to do?’.
