I like the one way two way distinction for pointers-referents. Another thing I can say about the thing is that it seems to point to our boundary/distinction thresholds bring too rigid or too...assumed across reference classes when that’s not actually appropriate. Like abstractions in general being held too tightly and treated like territory even though we know intellectually that they are map.
When attempting to parse that final sentence, I get “the map for which ordinary maps are the territory”, and some filter in my head tells me that it sounds poetic enough that I should try to force the thought to do something other than just amuse me and then disappear.
While I think I see where you’re coming from in describing those inferences from the thing, I can’t really build on them like I would hope to in a proper conversation, because I tend to keep my understanding of it wrapped up in an e-prime inspired thought as a sort of defense against the quagmire of woo that it seems to commonly get embedded in.
