In our "bubble universe" or "bubble multiverse" there seems to be a limit, you can't put an infinite amount of data in a finite amount of space,
physically realised infinity doesn't even seem coherent. EDIT : Burali-Forti paradox
If the (local?) territory were infinite we could run a perpetual motion machine, I don't see how you could get started on the map, a map of what?

Eternal inflation is interesting and I want to understand some of the problems with it, here's one thing that bugs me and isn't the same as eternalism.

Quote:
most (but not all) theorists who take eternal chaotic inflation seriously assume that cosmic inflation can be forward- but not backward-eternal.
Eternal inflation
"This allows inflation to continue forever, to produce future-eternal inflation."

I think the map-territory thing is more to do with our model/world-simulation vs reality/truth
