>“the map is not the territory”

Personally I never think of this as something specific or quantitative as in fidelity.

In my head it’s more of a statement that the map is a representation, a reference, in the terminology of Stirner a spook or a phantom.

The territory is the thing itself, the visceral thing you exist in/on and can change, feel, experience.

This applies to anything that both exists and is represented, maps and land are just the best analogy.

Even a 1:1 scale map with 100% fidelity will never be the territory.
