‘A Model is a story about the world that helps the mind to navigate it. It does not need to be a story expressed in numbers or words. It is isomorphic to the world in a particular way and with models, The Map Can Be The Territory in specific ways that provides utility.
A model can be good for certain things, but it doesn’t have to be good for everything.’

Thoughts from Prof. Andrew Jaffe on The MindScape Podcast
