" For an investigator I it makes only sense to consider an entity M as a substitute of an entity O, if I can (1) establish an analogy, similarity, or similar relation between M and O that permits the substitution of O by M with respect to purpose and means, time-horizon etc. , 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. Model Home For Sale 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. "

" If the deviation from model to original cannot be tolerated then the original has to be changed. Design models are in a prescriptive reference mode to their originals, i. e. , the implementation. (3) idealizing, i. e. , the model is supposed to deviate from the original and as long as there is a good reason for that one doesn't worry. Model Home Design Software process models are in an idealizing reference mode to the actually realized software process. As the software process model describes how software shall be developed under ideal conditions there is no reason to be worried if one deviates from the model because the real conditions are not ideal.
