", and (2) I can actually investigate M in the required way. That implies firstly that M does not have the properties of O that prevent I from investigating O . Also other properties of O may not be properties of M. In that sense a model is more abstract than its original. Secondly, a model M will in general have properties that O does not have and that actually aid I in investigating M. What the investigator I does in modeling is formulating a problem P in terms of the original O, translate that problem into a problem P' in terms of M, obtain a solution S' of P' and translate S' into a solution candidate S of P in terms of O. If S is actually a solution of P then the modeling process was successful and can be terminated. Home Interior Model If, however, that is not the case then the investigator I can start over with a different problem, model, means of investigation, or relation between model and original. It is worth noting that the concept of solution to a problem depends on the investigator, its purpose, intended means of investigation, time-horizon of that investigation and so forth. "

" Often it will be such that historically there can be found an iteration of sequences of model constitution and original constitution. One should not miss out the point that the original as well must be constituted in some way so it becomes accessible to the modeling individual I. IV. The term model is used in many communities with quite different traditions, commonly perceived problems, and purposes. To use the term properly therefore requires it being put into the right context. While this entry attempts to provide a general framework for talking about models it is not very likely that all communities would accept and use that framework. V.
