Based on my limited knowledge is that you cannot change the map.

At last, I've finally found something that you cannot change. Well then, just call this "reality" and discard everything we've said so far.

You can affect your matrix, by realizing it is a matrix, it's kind of paradoxical.

Yeah, call me when someone learns to affect the map.

But if you are creating these maps at every given moment, isn't the maps changing depending on you? :D

Can we call it your perception of the map? Because that's all there really is, that's why it's a map. Nothing exists which isn't in your present moment, except as maps.
