The Map Is Not The Territory

• The map is not the territory metaphorically illustrates the differences between belief and reality.
• The phrase was coined by Alfred Korzybski.

Scribbling on the map does not change the territory

• If you change what you believe about an object, that is a change in the pattern of neurons in your brain.
• The real object will not change because of this edit.

The map is a separate object from the territory and the map exists as an object inside the territory
