We ''live'' in the territory: to ''abstract'' from territory to map is to cross a threshold from the ordinary world to a ''model'' realm. This is a mythical, [[metaphor]]ical journey. It is the same as the hero’s journey into a magical world, as outlined in [[Joseph Campbell]]’s {{br|The Hero with a Thousand Faces}}. But unlike the fictional archetype, the magical model world cannot change the real world. The less correspondence there is between the two, the greater the peril. | We ''live'' in the territory: to ''abstract'' from territory to map is to cross a threshold from the ordinary world to a ''model'' realm.
