An issue associated with Korzybski (whose slogan, "The
*critical value
*error distribution


Map Is Not The Territory", has found a home in sci-fi
*mean: ''sujycnano''
**arithmetic mean: ''jmina sujycnano''


lore) but such questions can be found even as far back
**geometric mean: ''pilji sujycnano''
**harmonic mean: ''te dilcu sujycnano''


as Augustine. Of course, the most extreme form of this
**root mean squared: ''reltenfa sujycnano''
*median: ''porcnano''


--identical with [[jbocre: Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis apir-Whorf|Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis apir-Whorf]] taken literally-- is obviously
*mode: ''cafraicnano''
*normal distribution: ''cunrgauso'' (x1 is normally distributed with mean x2 and standard deviation x3)


false: we DO perceive things we don't have a name for,
*significant
*statistic: ''gumdatni''


nor are we bound to believe that things exist merely
*Z-score
 
because we have words for them. But it is good to be able
 
to refer to this tendency succinctly. "Reification" is a
 
feature of several mental illnesses (although this concept
 
itself is a bit of a reification--see Foucault), and insofar
 
as it often accompanies severely ideological political stances,
 
there may eventually develop a consensus that these are not
 
two separate phenomena, one treatable by medicine and the other
 
requiring such accommodations as may prove fatal to democratic
 
societies,--but one.
 
And one is also allowed to ask the question: what would
 
"Lojbanic reification" be?
