Further discussion of what is a "model" (in general), highlighting a wide variety of models including those instantiated in the physical world (such as laboratory model systems) to those formed within the mind (mental models). We then discuss the strengths and weaknesses of quantitative models (relative to mental models), the three different uses of quantitative modeling, and the three different kinds of simulation modeling (with an emphasis on system dynamics modeling).
