I’d say Google Maps only mostly lives in physical reality, it does also contain things like political borders and the names of restaurants and such, and there are various pressures on the reviews displayed, and location data in China is slightly fuzzed, and maybe there’s other things like that. This is a nitpick, though.
I really like the comparison with literally fictional worlds, and the mention of “should” worlds. (I think I live in a superposition of social reality and normative reality more than I endorse.)
