 Pincock’s position is classified in Batterman and Rice 2014 as sharing with many others (including those based on causal theories of explanation and those based on mechanistic explanations cited in section 1) a representational bias. Batterman and Rice offer instead examples of explanations in which models can be explanatory even when there are no “common features” (a mirroring relation of sorts) between the model and the phenomena being explained. They claim that one such case is the case of lattice gas automaton models of fluid dynamics: these minimal models are said to account for the universal behavior of some fluids while also failing to represent any of the relevant microphysics of actual fluids. Batterman and Rice note that these explanations can be understood using renormalization group techniques. These minimal models are also extensively used in biology (Fisher’s model of one-to-one sex ratios). Batterman and Rice conclude:
