ABSTRACT
Almost by defi nition, models violate the whole truth. Models also appear to involve false elements that violate nothing-but-the-truth. At the same time, good models are often expected somehow to yield true information about some real features of the world-not just true predictions but also true representations of important dependencies and mechanisms in some target domains. I have pursued the idea of models possibly being true more directly elsewhere (e.g., Mäki 1992, 1994, 2009b, 2009c, 2011).
