That's a good one. I also wonder how many other maps there are, and what _they're_ good at. Consider physics really deep and full of leverage that's currently really helpful to humanity...but still only one general system of map design. The nice thing is that lots of alternatives are considered within physics, but we also like our "best" concept; take Wolfram finding the "best" universal rule system for example. This immediately begins discarding alternatives. And maybe they're just different, not just worse. Even the map metaphor starts to break at this point because it's hard to think of an alternative map that's not a literal map, and maps all seem the same (i.e. resolving down to the geometry-based, literal "map system" we already know) if you squint your eyes enough. The map is the territory, and it's not, and we can say the same of the pencil, and your shoes, and the concept of intuition. Just as a way of putting "known physics is the map" into context.
