Idea: “mental cartography/cartographer”. People will say, “what is that?” and the answer would be “we attempt to make the map in our head match the territory of reality”.
Pros: no one will have heard of it (it has about 2000 hits on google), so we get to define it.
I really like the idea of using a new label that triggers curiosity and prompts the listener to ask followup questions, but I think this one is a little too unwieldy because the map-territory analogy takes a while to explain.
