Driving some days ago, I realized I had mixed up my cardinal directions. I’ll need to completely remake my mental map of that part of the city, and that that will take some work because I am quite used to thinking of it the other way. I think this is nicely analogous to my experience with trying to be more rational: it’s a willingness to amend the map, even though it requires some effort. The map wasn’t so bad, but can be better.
Cool! I suggested Map Makers, but I like ‘Something’ of Cartographers better.
… Love the self-deprecating Lewis Carroll/Borges association with creating a map that looks just like reality (same scale, etc).

Cartography
—the science or art of making maps (Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary)
A Cartographer is not just a Map Maker, but a Scientist and an Artist of Map Making.
Indeed, I would not have hit “Cartographers” if you hadn’t suggested it.
