DOMAIN LIMITS FOR MODELS?<br />
MODELING AS A TOOL FOR BRIDGING NATURAL AND HUMAN<br />
SCIENCES.<br />
Abstract<br />
Samir Abuzaid<br />
(Engineering Consultant, Cairo) 93<br />
Models are used in a variety of forms to achieve different go<strong>al</strong>s in our scientific<br />
exploration of natur<strong>al</strong> phenomena. Within this view, models can be either specific for a<br />
particular phenomenon, or gener<strong>al</strong>, and hence can be applied to a particular domain of<br />
phenomena. In this article we address the problem of the domain of models. We propose<br />
that the model, in its gener<strong>al</strong> form, can cover as wide as both natur<strong>al</strong> and human<br />
domains. This leads to an interesting result, which is that modeling in such a case can be<br />
implemented to resume the efforts to unify natur<strong>al</strong> and human sciences. In this case,<br />
model will replace theory and our aim would be shifted to the 'model of everything'<br />
instead of the 'theory of everything'. The basic difference is that the theory is essenti<strong>al</strong>ly<br />
reductive whereas the model, due to its form<strong>al</strong> character that can span different domains,<br />
would be non-reductive, and hence, can work as a bridge to close the gap between the<br />
two re<strong>al</strong>ms.<br />
