GARY: maps always = menus
territory always = food.
The MOQ is a menu and not the food!
We eat the food and not the menu. We experience Quality, we do not

quality = food
experience = taste of the food (which the menu does have an effect;we do
indirectly experience the menu)
I don't know whether "raw" data of experience is possible?
