The Map Is Not The Territory...

Korzybski's dictum ("The map is not the territory") is also cited as an underlying principle used in neuro-linguistic programming, where it is used to signify that individual people in fact do not in general have access to absolute knowledge of reality, but in fact only have access to a set of beliefs they have built up over time, about reality. So it is considered important to be aware that people's beliefs about reality and their awareness of things (the "map") are not reality itself or everything they could be aware of ("the territory"). The originators of NLP have been explicit that they owe this insight to General Semantics.

Frank's mission to find another bomb shelter hidden deep beneath the former site of the World Trade Center.
...arriving in a board room filled with the Coven, a group of generals,
senators, oil magnates, and computer billionaires. Frank, having
learned about the Coven from a prisoner at Sing-Sing who designed their
shelter, blames them for escalating the War on Terror in the name of
profit and the resulting global holocaust.
As Frank prepares to execute the Coven, they stop him, revealing
that other members, hidden in bases across the world, have
self-destructed due to outbreaks of insanity. They reveal that with the
resources they control in the shelter, they can repopulate the world,
the last hope for humanity. But knowing that these people would doom
the world again, Frank kills them.

Frank was trying to get the people who not only did this to the world,
but who had been doing evil to the world for a long time. A group known
as The Coven. A word that means an "assembly of witches."

When Frank finds them, they try and tell him that they can save the
world. But Frank knows that these people would do the same thing all
over again to the world. Frank kills them."

This story does take place within the normal Marvel universe. It is not a "What If" story or an alternate Earth story.

Frank: "Once upon a time there was a bunch of evilf**ks Hardly anyone knew, because they were so good at keeping it quiet, but these particular evil f**ks owned the world. And they made the world a cruel and terrible place. They ran the great industries that poisoned the air. Their businesses turned whole countries into slaves. The money they made could have fed and healed the population of the earth twice over, but all that they could think to do with it was hoard it. They got away with it by being expert salesmen. These were men who could sell anything to anyone. They made puppets out of presidents and started wars for profit. Eventually, they came to believe that there was nothing that they couldn't do. And so one day... inevitably... they pushed the planet's luck too far."

"After the Twin Towers collapsed, they closed a lot subway stations in the neighborhood. For repairs, most people figured. For cover while they sank a bunker ninety floors down, was the truth."

"I blamed evil men...the parasites who preyed on human weakness. That weakness was a feeding ground that stretched beyond the infinite. The evil that it feed would never end. So I decided neither would my war."

"Oilmen and generals. Computer billionaires and senators. Captains of Industry. Teach called you the Coven. He said you wove a spell that lasted from the second World War to the third."

"Expert salesmen. They could sell anything to anyone. Except me."

"And that...well that's all I wanted to say. Do what you will."
