Sure, but I think the analogy breaks down in this case.Here the map contains precisely the same amount of information as the territory, no reduction of dimensionality,no loss of resolution. Everything that can be said of the territory can be said of the map and we're left with a case in which the only unique non-shared property of the territory is "physical existence", whatever that is.

Yeah imagine instead of a map you have a 3d model of space time. At a certain degree of granularity the model becomes isomorphic to "reality."
