Domain-specific¶
- Formal Model
- In the logical sense, a model is a structure in which the relevant theory's sentences are true; in applied modeling, that structure is interpreted as representing a target.
This sourceSurveys logical models, interpreted structures, mathematical models, simulations, idealization, and the representational uses of models in science.

- Physical-System Model
- A physical-system model is an idealized representation that specifies physical entities or fields, state variables, parameters, governing laws or constitutive relations, boundary and initial conditions, and a mapping to observations so a physical system can be explained, simulated, or predicted.

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.
