Domain-specific¶
- Formal Model
- Scientific representation therefore requires licensed inferences from the model to the target, not syntactic well-formedness alone.
This sourceAnalyzes representation as target-directed use that supports inferences about the represented system.
- Scientific representation therefore requires licensed inferences from the model to the target, not syntactic well-formedness alone.
- Physical-System Model
- The map to observations is essential even when direct testing is difficult because scientific representation must support warranted inferences from the model to its target.
This sourceExplains the target-directed and inferential requirements on scientific representations, including model-based reasoning about target systems.
- The map to observations is essential even when direct testing is difficult because scientific representation must support warranted inferences from the model to its target.
Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
