Map is Not the Territory

Our next mental model for math comes from Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP).
We call this the map is not the territory.

Everybody draws a map of the world they use to create "reality". Since everybody has their own unique map, we see how the map is not the territory.

For math, the best way to level up your skills comes from expanding your map using knowledge of the world.
