The whole and its parts

The whole & its parts

Models and frameworks

The ambition of a model is to represent reality.

In contrast to this, a framework aims to be a way to look at reality.

They serve different tasks.

One is to use the simplification the model offers to learn what to do. And the other is to figure out what to do in the absence of a usable model. It eventually and hopefully leads to a model one can apply to one’s reality.
