The Map and the Territories

The first take on experience is through the right hemisphere, almost instantly. Whatever that is then transferred to the left hemisphere where it becomes a representation - present again after the fact when it no longer actually is present. This is the difference between the living and dead map or diagram of it, which is the representation. And this is such an important thing to bear in mind throughout one's experience of life. Once you see it, it crops up everywhere. Very few things are certain. very few things are final. Science is in fact the story of the continually mistaken.
