Definition / description
What is a model? How does a model represent the reality it purports to describe? What is the correspondence between the model and the reality? What is the relationship between "the map" and "the territory"?
In some way, we establish an isomophism (a one-to-one correspondence) between the abstract model and the "real" reality it describes.
The model exists in an abstract symbolic medium -- such as a computer -- describing something "real". We choose aspects of the reality to include in our model because they are important for something we are doing, and ignore aspects that are insignificant.
We are defining "object" in various ways, and these definition go to the concept of model -- what is the relationship between the map and the territory
Is not a dimension
