Scientific Model-Dependency

The insight that what we observe in science depends critically on the models we use to observe. Our instruments are built on models. Our data analysis assumes models. Our theories are models. We never access reality raw—we access reality filtered through models, and different models reveal different aspects. This isn't idealism (reality exists) but dependency: what we can say about reality is always mediated by the models we've built. Scientific progress is partly about building better models, but also about understanding what each model hides along with what it reveals.

"You think climate models are just predictions? Scientific Model-Dependency says: they're also what makes climate visible at all. Without models, you have weather, not climate. The model isn't just representing reality—it's creating the conditions for you to see it. Respect the dependency."

Epistemological Model-Dependency

The insight that what we can know depends critically on the models we use to know. Our concepts are models. Our languages are models. Our theories are models. We never access reality raw—we access reality filtered through models, and different models reveal different aspects. This isn't idealism (reality exists) but dependency: what we can claim to know is always mediated by the models we've built. Epistemic progress is partly about building better models, but also about understanding what each model hides along with what it reveals.

"You think you know someone through their social media. Epistemological Model-Dependency says: you know the model they present, filtered through the platform's algorithms, shaped by your interpretive framework. That's knowledge—but it's model-dependent knowledge. You don't know them; you know them-as-filtered-through-your-model. Respect the dependency."

Mindful Modeling

When the conscious effort of coming up with an apt model drawing that connects the knowns and unknowns in a math word problem can enhance the readability or elegance of a solution—when a “look-see” proof could arouse an aha! in the problem solver.

If only more math educators were to practice mindful modeling, the number of students or homeschoolers embracing Singapore’s bar model method could potentially increase ten folds in no time.

hotdog model

A deliberately absurd, low-stakes spectacle used as a tactical distraction, drawing attention away from a more serious or covert operation. Often involves public chaos, embarrassment, nudity, insanity, or humor to overwhelm observers while something else happens unnoticed.

Origin: “Hotdog Model”, a song by Undead Chickens, published on Suno on January 10, 2025.

Example:
“While everyone was filming the naked guy spinning in the lobby, the crew slipped out through the vents — classic hotdog model.”

Control....
Gotta hotdog model out here....
you got this on vid.....
chuckle fucker.....
nine inches....

boomerang business model

A business model in which all profits from a good or service are returned to the consumers that generated them, with only compensation for operating costs extracted by the provider of the good or service.

A website based on a boomerang business model generates advertising revenue proportional to user traffic, then returns its profits to its users, keeping only the portion of advertising revenue equal to operating costs.
