ABSTRACT
A model
is one of the most fundamental concepts: it is a formal and generalized
explanation of a phenomenon. Only with models can we bridge the particulars and
predict the unknown. Virtually all our intellectual work turns around finding
models, evaluating models, using models. Because models are so pervasive, it
makes sense to take a look at modelling itself. We will approach this problem,
of course, by building a model of the process of modelling.
