Korzybski's famous remark that "the is not the " because people regularly confuse conceptual models of with reality itself, and its derivatives such as "all models are wrong" originates from regarding the as a or picture ***describing*** that reality.

The is instead a (instruction) or a for helping us navigate the terrain, what Maturana would call a with which each one of us is able to create our own image of reality depending on what we "want" from the terrain we are navigating through.
