We define a model as a adequate and dependable instrument. The adequacy and dependability of an instrument is based on a judgement made by the community of practice. An instrument has a background consisting of an undisputable grounding from one side (paradigms, postulates, restrictions, theories, culture, foundations, conventions, authorities) and of a disputable and adjustable basis from other side (assumptions, concepts, practices, language as carrier, thought community and thought style, methodology, pattern, routines, commonsense). This implies an profile and an anti-profile (prohibited use) for the use of a model.
