Using metaphor one could say that
1a) Scientific theories are maps of reality
1b) Technologies are maps of artifacts based on science
2a) Religions, political movements etc. are maps of ethics
2b) Arts are technologies of ethics
It is easy to understand that we have multiple meanings
when using maps 2a/2b. But normally in 1a if you
have multiple meanings you have pseudosciences or
you are in paradigm shift.
