The best map-makers know that maps are part of the territory, so they draw an infinite number of map representations inside their maps.

@DeityOfReligion That sort of map requires 1 more level of transfinite cardinality than the territory it describes.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@ProofOfLogic@DeityOfReligion You caught me--I only play set theorist on twitter. (Is it true if we assert that the map != the territory?)1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@MoralOfStory@DeityOfReligion You get diagonalization problems when the map tries to answer questions & you have negation in the language.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@ProofOfLogic@DeityOfReligion I fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is DIAGONALIZATION.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@ProofOfLogic@DeityOfReligion Srsly, though-- I don't see how X can be a subset of Y, X != Y, and yet there be a bijection between X and Y.3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MoralOfStory@DeityOfReligion Consider the case where the map differs from the territory in that it has a nice gold frame.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MoralOfStory@DeityOfReligion But mainly requiring X != Y seems like a rule which you invented just to make the perfect map impossible.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like
@ProofOfLogic @DeityOfReligion Well, I was trying to talk about maps, not territories... :)
