The models module defines models as semiotic signs that stands for an object by resembling or imitating it, in shape or by sharing a similar logical structure.

The EMMO requires FacT++ reasoner plugin in order to visualize all inferences and class hierarchy (ctrl+R hotkey in Protege).
hasModel
An experiment is a process that is intended to replicate a physical phenomenon in a controlled environment.
Experiment
An 'equation' that stands for a 'physical_law' by mathematically defining the relations between physics_quantities.
The Newton's equation of motion. The Schrödinger equation. The Navier-Stokes equation.
PhysicsEquation
A 'process' that is recognized by physical sciences and is catogrized accordingly.
While every 'process' in the EMMO involves physical objects, this class is devoted to represent real world objects that express a phenomenon relevant for the ontologist
PhysicalPhenomenon
A physics-based model based on a physics equation describing the behaviour of continuum volume.
ContinuumModel
A physics-based model based on a physics equation describing the behaviour of mesoscopic entities, i.e. a set of bounded atoms like a molecule, bead or nanoparticle.
MesoscopicModel
The 'semiosis' process of interpreting a 'physical' and provide a complec sign, 'theory' that stands for it and explain it to another interpreter.
Theorization
Theorisation
A physics-based model based on a physics equation describing the behaviour of electrons.
Density functional theory. Hartree-Fock.
ElectronicModel
A physics-based model based on a physics equation describing the behaviour of atoms.
AtomisticModel
A 'conventional' that stand for a 'physical'.
The 'theory' is e.g. a proposition, a book or a paper whose sub-symbols suggest in the mind of the interpreter an interpretant structure that can represent a 'physical'. It is not an 'icon' (like a math equation), because it has no common resemblance or logical structure with the 'physical'. In Peirce semiotics: legisign-symbol-argument
Theory
A 'sign' that not only stands for a 'physical' or a 'process', but it is also a simplified representation, aimed to assist calculations for its description or for predictions of its behaviour. A 'model' represents a 'physical' or a 'process' by direct similitude (e.g. small scale replica) or by capturing in a logical framework the relations between its properties (e.g. mathematical model).
A 'model' prediction is always a prediction of the properties of an entity, since an entity is known by an interpreter only through perception.
Model
PhysicalLaw
A computational model that uses existing data to create new insight into the behaviour of a system.
DataBasedModel
A solvable set of one Physics Equation and one or more Materials Relations.
PhysicsBasedModel
NaturalLaw
An 'equation' that stands for a physical assumption specific to a material, and provides an expression for a 'physics_quantity' (the dependent variable) as function of other variables, physics_quantity or data (independent variables).
The Lennard-Jones potential. A force field. An Hamiltonian.
A material_relation can e.g. return a predefined number, return a database query, be an equation that depends on other physics_quantities.
MaterialRelation
MaterialLaw
A mathematical model can be defined as a description of a system using mathematical concepts and language to facilitate proper explanation of a system or to study the effects of different components and to make predictions on patterns of behaviour. Abramowitz and Stegun, 1968
