Abstract
Models and modeling play key roles for understanding the world and how it works including artificially created real worlds, and for representing and transferring knowledge about the world. Based on an example the paper aims to show the possibilities, but also the limitations of models. Particularly we discuss what knowledge can and cannot be transferred by model abstractions on type level and how they contribute to understanding the functioning of the world.
