Could everywhere be themed?

We might imagine total theming coming about through massive commercial redevelopment. In that case, even though all the places were themed, there could still be references to elsewheres in history or in fantasy.

However, this is not enough, for in such a world the doubled self-presentation needed for theming would fade away because total theming would no longer allow an active contrast with a different life that was the everyday norm.

More precisely, a whole world cannot share a single mono-theme. The question of a multi-themed totality is more difficult.
