Discussion

Precision and vagueness are examples of qualities of a Map and Territory|Map. A vague Map and Territory|Map is useful for a frequently shifting value in the Map and Territory (a price that frequently changes), whereas a precise Map and Territory|Map represents a stable quality in the Map and Territory (a price that rarely changes).^[ Rationality, From A to Z#^74858f]
