#1 is just inevitable in all but a few perfectly specified domains. The map can’t contain the entire territory.
#2 is what I’m discussing in this post; it’s the one we rationalists try most to notice and combat. (Beliefs paying rent and all.)
#3 is fine; I’m not as worried about [maps that admit they don’t know what’s beyond the mountain] as I’m worried about [maps that fabricate the territory beyond the mountain].
#4. For sufficiently perfect predictive power, the difference between map and territory becomes an epiphenomenon, so I don’t worry about this either.
