"Information always underrepresents reality."
Jaron Lanier, Who Owns the Future? (page number not provided by e-reader)
What does this mean?
Reality is always more complex than what you know of it.
The map is smaller than the territory? I think?
I bet there are big maps of small territories somewhere.
Physically? Maybe. information-wise? I heavily doubt it.
If the map is bigger than the territory, why not go live in the map? :-/
Physically's easy enough, but even information-wise, I had a guide to programming the Z80 that wouldn't have fit in the addressable memory of a Z80, let alone the processor. Will that do? If not, we should probably agree definitions before debating.
Would it have fit into less space than the set of possible programs for the Z80?
That is a great point! I am grudgingly prepared to concede that sets are smaller than their power sets.
