Korzybsky also talks about infinity-valued causality. That is, we can't just finitely say that one specific thing is causing another. We have to take it all into consideration if we will claim to examine the whole situation. What Korzybsky envisioned with General Semantics was that people could be trained in relating to the world in more fluid infinity-valued ways so that we can avoid all the human aberrations and misunderstandings that come out of taking limited maps too seriously. Most disagreements, arguments, fights, and wars come out of the failure to recognize all factors, all views, and from relying on maps of reality that don't correspond to what is actually going on.
People argue based on their own maps and fail to realize that others use different maps.
When that gets cleared up and together we look at reality, then most conflicts evaporate. The human mind includes mechanisms that are part of the problem. She might assume that he gives her flowers because he has something to hide and it really means that he is having an affair, and she gets mad because of that. Maybe Joe just wanted to be nice, or there was a sale on flowers. Semantic reactions sometimes make it difficult to have rational and constructive interactions between people.
