 This account is thoroughly intentionalist and anti-essentialist. That is, mapping relations between model and world are left open and overdetermined. Specifying the relevant relations depends on contextual factors such as questions asked, and the kinds of similarities and isomorphisms deemed to be of interest. The appropriate relations are selected from an infinite (or, at least, near-infinite) variety of possible relations (e.g., Rosenblueth and Wiener 1945; Lowry 1965).
