The concept of "the map is not the territory" highlights the distinction between subjective perceptions or representations of reality (the map) and objective reality itself (the territory). It underscores the limitations of human perception and cognition, reminding us that our mental models or representations of reality are inherently incomplete and may differ from objective truth.

Remember, 'The Map is not the Territory'—distinguish between models and reality for better decision-making. #TheMapIsNotTheTerritory #MentalModels #CriticalThinking #Perception #Reality
