Yes, in humans. And granted, in any other reasoning engine it will reduce to a physical state. This is mostly irrelevant, however. It reduces to a physical state because your map reduces to a physical state. This makes it still a claim about the territory when you're a part of the territory (as is true for us, but wouldn't necessarily be true for an entity watching our simulation or whatever), but it doesn't make it not a claim about the map. Marriage, I assert, is not a claim about maps at all.
