This is an important point where I agree with Marc. With or without
comp the necessity of distinguishing the map and the territory cannot
be uniform, there are "meaning"-fixed-point, like when a map is
embedded continuously in the territory (assuming some topology in the
map and in the territory, this follows by a fixed point theorem by
Brouwer, which today admits many interesting computational
interpretations.
