Hmm, so the map/territory distinction?

That's a good one.

Some of mine ARE object-level, but there aren't just ANY object-level ones. They focus on teaching you how to discern between real and fake evidence, I guess...

Are you just referring to map/territory, or is there more to it than that?

It is slightly - the "map/territory" is a view from the epistemology side, while the "your mind as a cockpit" frame which I like includes all executive functions (including belief-formation).
