Korzybskis
Korzybskis is a term that can refer to several entities, most notably the work and legacy of Alfred Korzybski, a Polish-American philosopher and scientist. Korzybski is best known for developing General Semantics, a discipline he defined as "the study of the effect of language and symbol systems upon the human organism and its behavior." His seminal work, Science and Sanity: An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics, published in 1933, laid out his core principles. A central tenet of General Semantics is the idea that "the map is not the territory," emphasizing the distinction between our internal representations of reality (maps) and reality itself (territory). Korzybski also introduced concepts such as structural differential, time-binding, and the importance of a non-identity attitude.
