"The map is not the territory."
I first came across the Count in A. E. Van Vogt's "World of Null-A." I ordered his "Science and Sanity" from the state library system. I built a structural differential and presented it to my 8th grade english class, thereby earning the remark in my year book from my english teacher, Mrs. Murphy, that I was "... the first student to teach her a new word, epistemology."
Recently it occurs to me that the "null-A pause" to allow cortical-thalamic integration to occur sounds like bringing the cerebral cortex into connection with the sensations of the body?
I need to go back and re-read "Science and Sanity"
