" 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. 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. Hot Woman Model 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. What has been presented here so far essentially is due to Stachowiak, [1]. "
