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.
Answer:
Chris had a premonition of what might happen
Explanation:
There is nowhere in the book that shows that Chris was suicidal or had a wish to die. He was downcast and unsure of his return because of his high unpreparedness for his adventure to the Alaskan wilderness. This is not the only dangerous event that Chris had undertaken, he only foresaw the danger in this coupled with his ineffective preparation for the journey.
"This is the last you shall hear from me Wayne. Arrived here 2 days ago. It was difficult to catch rides in the Yukon Territory. But I finally got here. Please return all mail I receive to the sender. It might be a very long time before I return south. If this adventure proves fatal and you don't ever hear from me again, I want you to know you're a great man. I now walk in the wild."
From this letter, we could see that Chris still saw a possibility of return, though slim. "It might be a very long time before I return south", this is enough evidence that he had no plan to kill himself, he only foresaw impending fatality in the adventure which may cause the wilderness to see his end.
