Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 5B))

  • 528 Accesses

Abstract

The essence of good model building is to find the right simplifications of reality: what are the most relevant aspects of a system for understanding the problem at hand? Naturally, models should be constructed in accordance with what is known about the biology of a given situation. However, paradigms of what nature is assumed to be, instead of what it is known to be, may receive undue emphasis in models.
