        @ngvrnd Hayakawa worked really hard to make Korzybski understandable to the masses.

        @ckhonson But the original diagram is Hiyakawa's, mid-20th century, after Korzybski.

        @St_Rev @simplic10 The comic thing here is that the true “cow” abstraction ladder has a weird gap for “both sexes of this species”.

        @St_Rev maps can be drawn with info across/straddling multiple ladders? Each having its own level of abstraction incorporated in to the map?

        @thejaymo Well, take Google Maps. It overlays photographs (low-level abstractions) with words, numbers and lines (higher-level).
