 A further worry is how Direct Representation deals with targetless models. If there is no target system, then what does the model prescribe imaginings about? Toon is well aware of such models and suggests the following solution: if a model has no target it prescribes imaginings about a fictional character (2012: 76). This solution, however, comes with ontological costs, and one of the declared aims of the direct view was to avoid such costs by removing model systems from the picture. Levy (2015) aims to salvage ontological parsimony and proposes a radical move: there are no targetless models. If a (purported) model has no target then it is not a model. There remains a question, however, how this view can be squared with scientific practice where targetless models are not only common but also clearly acknowledged as such.
