" II. The consistency of models may be conceptual or physical . In many areas of research conceptual models have become the dominating species, as conceptual models, more easily than physical ones, can be investigated by means of computing. For conceptual models to be the shared property of a research community the concepts they involve must be capable of being shared. That is the case when a consensual understanding of these concepts has been achieved or can be achieved by means of definition, examples, etc. With respect to what is shown by a conceptual model there are differences at least with respect to computer science, mathematics and logic. Mathematical models in one way or another establish a functional cohesion between entities such as input values and output values. Battle Ship Model Logical models establish an interpretation relationship between formulae and structures. Models in Computer Science are largely organizational in that they show how data, a cooperation between agents, the process of creating a response to an external stimulus, an algorithm, or similar is structured.

For example, the mass of an electron is really a coupling between a left handed electron and a right handed electron, which is the antiparticle of a left handed positron. Also neutrinos show large mixings in their mass coupling, so it's not accurate to talk about neutrino masses in the flavor basis or to suggest a left handed electron neutrino and a right handed electron neutrino have the same mass as this table seems to suggest. *** - What is actually measured experimentally are the masses of baryons and hadrons and various cross section rates. Since quarks can't be isolated because of QCD confinement, the quantity here is supposed to be the mass of the quark at the renormalization scale of the QCD phase transition. Artist For Model Ship In order to compute this quantity, physicists have to set up a lattice model and try out various masses for the quarks until the model comes up with a close fit with experimental data. Since the masses of the first generation quarks are significantly below the QCD scale, the uncertainties here are pretty large. "
