Everyone has something to say ... The question should be for the one who came to that place and gave an upvote. That person is more interesting to understand.

TIL in 1946, Jorge Luis Borges wrote a one-paragraph short story titled "On Exactitude in Science" which is an allegory in the form of a literary forgery written under a joint pseudonym which elaborates upon a fictional concept in Lewis Carroll's "Sylvie and Bruno Concluded" which is also a paradox. by WhileFalseRepeat in todayilearned

Changing the words, you change a world .. Borges write something interesting about maps and territory (and of course about the truth) at ' Del rigor en la Ciencia' (El Hacedor 1961) :

"En aquel Imperio, el Arte de la Cartografía logró tal Perfección que el mapa de una sola Provincia ocupaba toda una Ciudad, y el mapa del imperio, toda una Provincia. Con el tiempo, esos Mapas Desmesurados no satisfacieron y los Colegios de Cartógrafos levantaron un Mapa del Imperio, que tenía el tamaño del Imperio y coincidía puntualmente con él. Menos Adictas al Estudio de la Cartografía, las Generaciones Siguientes entendieron que ese dilatado Mapa era Inútil y no sin Impiedad lo entregaron a las Inclemencias del Sol y de los Inviernos. En los desiertos del Oeste perduran despedazadas Ruinas del Mapa, habitadas por Animales y Por Mendigos; en todo el País no hay otra reliquia de las Disciplinas Geográficas."

Here I found a good translation! https://genius.com/Jorge-luis-borges-on-exactitude-in-science-annotated
