Abstract: Abstract Trying to understand the world around him, man organizes his observations and ideas into conceptual frames. These we shall call models. The insight gotten by applying logic to the concepts of a model will be called its theory. Mathematical models are logically coherent and have extensive theories. Others may be less strict but no less useful.
