Are you familiar with the work of Ian mcgilchrist? He writes a lot about confusing the map with the territory, which seems a related concept to truth grounding.
Here’s a semi-relevant quotation:
“by paying a certain kind of attention, you can humanize or dehumanize, cherish or strip of all value. By a kind of alienating, fragmenting and focal attention, you can reduce humanity – or art, sex, humour, or religion – to nothing. You can so alienate yourself from a poem that you stop seeing the poem at all, and instead come to see in its place just theories, messages and formal tropes; stop hearing the music and hear only tonalities and harmonic shifts; stop seeing the person and see only mechanisms – all because of the plane of attention.”
Anyway, when you spend all day living in the OS map, it becomes more and more important to go touch grass!
Brilliant, thank you!
