Modelling the World (part deux)

Modelling funds our knowledge in so many ways. It has so many uses in mathematics, physics, and many other of the sciences. It makes remembering infomation and computing information much easier by allowing our thoughts to correspond to some observable entity in the world. A model breaks down and reduces an apparent complexity into ideas that we can better understand. Such models as the Fibonacci sequence and different branching systems have made understanding and remembering information a much simpler task.
