Abstract

Evidently, human thinking is based on an imagination of the surrounding world in which one is going to explore an abstraction—a model. Such a model, if successful, enables to understand what is really going on—reality, that is what we see and it might be the truth, but observation and imagination can also lead to confusion and illusion.
