	Principle #4: The Map is Not the Territory
		This map is often called the ego by Western psychology, and is your concept of who you are and what your relationship is to the rest of the world.
		It is the limitations of this map (its inability to adequately "map the territory") that creates the over-threshold experience and the resulting dysfunctional feelings and behaviors and other suffering I've discussed already.
		Therefore, letting the map go through the evolutionary process (that of going into chaos temporarily and then reorganizing at a higher level) results in relief from the problems and limitations of the old map, and it gives you a new ability to deal with what was previously stressful or overwhelming.

	MOON RIVER: "The map is not the territory"
		Both in the selectivity of their content and in their signs and styles of representation, maps are a way of conceiving, articulating and structuring the human world which is biased towards, promoted by, and exerts influence upon sets of social relations.
		The Map is not the Territory by Claudio Gatti "In the nineteenth century, as maps became further institutionalised and linked to the growth of geography as a discipline, their power effects are again manifest in the continuing tide of European imperialism.
		There are innumerable contexts in which maps became the currency of political 'bargains', leases, partitions, sales, and treaties struck over colonial territory and, once made permanent in the image, these maps more than often acquired the force of law in the landscape." J.

	Map or be mapped - mapping indigenous people's territory - includes related article Whole Earth - Find Articles
		We all were taught: the map is not the territory.
		Mapping of land-based commons -- mapping of, by, and for the people -- has been dubbed "counter- mapping," "community-based mapping" or "participatory mapping." The mapping toolkit comprises everything from maps scratched on the ground to high-tech GPS and GIS, and often assistance by outside NGOs or universities.
		Neither folkloric nor orthodox maps are more "correct." Each represents a cultural interpretation of territory; each can be used to increase the usefulness of the other; each changes how residents and non-residents view their geography.

		There were specific areas where she was having difficulty, and from these she had somehow formed a neuro-linguistic map which said, "I never feel self-confident." It was as if she would look at this map, then look at the world around her, and wilt inside.
		But as her confusion between her maps and what was 'real' began to lift, she began making some interesting map changes, creating a new matrix which not only let her through, it invited her forward, supported her and energized her as she made great strides in self-confidence.

		It is difficult to talk about "territory" today: as a concept, it serves as a negative criterion, or a background against which urban life and social development can be displayed.
		The recent exhibition "Bridge/The Map Is Not the Territory" was an attempt to renavigate this nonterritory.
		The difficulty with an ambitious project like "Bridge/The map is not the territory" is that when a geographic area is transformed into the territory of discourse, the term "border" becomes superfluous.

		Via the intrepid Jason Kottke, here's a geographically accurate map of the London tube network, more usually represented schematically thus.
		In the contrast between the accurate mapping and Harry Beck's justly famous, never-bettered rendition, it's easy to see how the judicious introduction of deliberate distortion can be used to improve legibility - in visual systems, anyway.
		Not merely the relationships between lines, but a certain sense of the psychological (as opposed to actual) distance between central and outlying stations, pop to the fore in Beck's diagram.

	The Map is NOT the Territory by Vikram Karve
		This mental map is formed due to your values, beliefs and experiences and you tend to view the actual facts or events (territory) through mental filters based on your values, beliefs, biases, prejudices and experiences which form your mental map.
		Remember, just like the actual physical geographical territory exists on the ground and its map is drawn on paper, actual facts and events happen in reality and each one of us interprets them depending on the different maps in our minds.
		The secret of inner calm lies inside you, in developing the proper mental “maps” and correct attitude in your mind, so that you are not disturbed by the vicissitudes of external events which are akin to the outside “territory”.

		If theory is regarded as being merely 'about' something else (the territory / objective reality) if indeed the map is not the territory, then it is rather a tool of intentionality.
		When the map and territory are seen from the interactionist perspective, then navigation/exploration itself creates territory.

		The educator's e-mail maps a territory Americans scarcely see, from the point-of-view of a human being who sees the pain of children and neighbors caught in a circle of violence over which they have no control.

	topic maps vs rdf - The Map/Territory Conundrum in Topic Maps vs. RDF
		At last week's Extreme Markup Languages 2001 conference in Montreal I heard the "map is not the territory" platitude invoked with monitory gravity at key moments in a number of arguments.
		As it happened, it was Topic Map proponents in every case warning against what they saw as an inherent danger in RDF, but I have heard RDF diehards use the same argument to emphasize some fundamental distinction between the semantics of their predicates and the underlying instance syntax.
		It is uniquely the nature of markup up text that the content and the commentary are interwoven in a particular lexical sequence that defines the instance, and that in processing that instance both the markup and the content are at their first handling manipulated by the same lexical tools.

	topic maps vs rdf - Re: The Map/Territory Conundrum in Topic Maps vs. RDF
		If the syntactic instance is considered the territory (an assumption that I am making, but you may not be), then the markup which is included in that instance is the basis for one of many possible maps to that territory.
		That particular map is the elaboration of particular semantics from the syntax of the instance, including both the markup and any other instance content.
		That map is certainly not the only possible map, gloss, structure or other opinion which might be constructed upon the non-markup content of that instance, and in fact may not be the only one which could be elaborated from that particular combination of markup and other content.

		I am going to use the word "map" differently to argue that all art is an attempt at representation, at some level, and that it is precisely this inability of art to completely re-present the artistic impulse that gives art its potential for meaning.
		The distinction between map and tracing drawn above is crucial to distinguishing between high art and entertainment art, and between the interactive mapping activity of productive critical reception and the tracing of passive reception.
		That is, the inability to completely map or re-present anything of the world results in any attempt to do so becoming itself a new entity of the world, rather than a copy of something that already exists.

		Or, if the old map was created based on crude technology that could not create a really accurate map, and new technology, such as aerial photography, becomes available, you might want to get a new map.
		As this process happens, almost all people try to protect the old map (your concept of who you are and how you relate to the rest of the universe) when this initial chaos stage of growth-where you begin to notice the old map isn't working so well-begins.
		This attempt to hold the old map together is caused by the mistaken idea that this map is who you are-that the map really is the territory, rather than a just a tool you use to navigate through life.
