| | Model (abstract) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In some cases, abstract models can be used to implement computer simulations that illustrate the behavior of a system over time. | | | The purpose of a model is to provide an argumentative framework for applying logic and mathematics that can be independently evaluated (for example by testing) and that can be applied for reasoning in a range of situations. | | | Abstract models are used primarily as a reusable tool for discovering new facts, for providing systematic logical arguments as explicatory or pedagogical aids, for evaluating hypotheses theoretically, and for devising experimental procedures to test them. |

| | Is the Brain a Digital Computer? |
| | The basic idea of the computer model of the mind is that the mind is the program and the brain the hardware of a computational system. | | | In the brain computer there is no conscious intentional implementation of the algorithm as there is in the human computer, but there can't be any nonconscious implementation as there is in the mechanical computer either, because that requires an outside homunculus to attach a computational interpretation to the physical events. | | | As applied to the computational model generally, the characterization of a process as computational is a characterization of a physical system from outside; and the identification of the process as computational does not identify an intrinsic feature of the physics, it is essentially an observer relative characterization. |
