Abstract
We all have different ways of looking at the world that surrounds us, of interpreting our observations and communicating them to others. Models facilitate the process of interpretation and communication. At the same time, models open up new perspectives on the world and stimulate new questions about its workings.
I know it well sir, you always end ere you begin. —William Shakespeare, Two Gentlemen of Verona
