Tambolia as a word was contrived in 1992 by James Taylor Marshall, in Seattle, Washington, as a title for a presentation on Mapping Strategies for Sustainable Decision Making. The insights for this mapping strategy were translated from the traditional Tibetan Nyingmapa visualizations of the Longchen Nyingthig, linage visualization, and the Tibetan Mahayana interpretation of the Bhavacakra, Wheel of Life pictograph.

Deciding on a single word, in English, that captured the conditions of a metaphysical argument in an ancient symbolic format needed a comparable fringe word. From Douglas Hofstadter   Gödel, Escher, Bach (1979), Tumbolia was an idea from early computers people when they lost information to somewhere. The question was how deep into Tumbolia did the information go? The spelling of Tumbolia was changed to Tambolia, which seems to have had a broader application.

The original definition of Tambolia as: where forgotten things go. There have been additions to the definition of Tambolia including: the truth is not hidden just deeply unnoticed and figuring out something has consequences, figuring out something that is obvious is socially and culturally dangerous, figuring out something essential to the human condition is suicidal...
