When general semanticists use the expression, "the map is not the territory," to which language barrier are they referring?

The expression<em> "the map is not the territory", </em>was first said by the Polish scientist, <em>Alfred Korzybski.</em>

It is a metaphor. There is the reality of something (as perceived by the senses). And there are labels, symbols, abstraction of that reality created by the mind/thought for the sake of convenience, communication, or to make undersanding easier. We are often looking at maps rather than the territory, without realising it. Mind is an expert at doing this.

Korzybski held that many people do confuse maps with territories, that is, confuse models of reality with reality itself. In other words, the description of the thing is not the thing itself. The model is not reality.

Haran Majhi: son, profession- potter.

Jhumki: daughter-in-law, profession- midday meal worker in primary school.

Chumki: daughter.

Misti: daughter.

In the given algorithm, it is evident that the starting or top of the chart will be Swapan and Laxmi Majhi. Following them will be their son Haran Majhi and his wife Jhumki.

The professions of Swapan and Laxmi Majhi are a potter and a primary school midday meal worker respectively. They have two daughters- Chumki and Misti, who are both studying in a school.

The right side of the chart with the spaces for Son, Daughter-in-law, and son are to be left blank as there is no evidence of any other son or daughter-in-law or even a child of these two.
