The Semantic Conception of Theories: Structures and Representations that "all scientific theories are sets of mathematical structures". semantic view, fills in the identity claim very differently – in terms of representational Giere and Suárez – scientific theories are not structures, but representations of target structural and representational variants of the semantic conception invariably end up mapped uniquely onto, a mathematical structure; the representational target is, or can be structural relation as best described constitutes representation even in that particular case – the sense of formal semantics or model theory in mathematical logic. semantic conception of theories that identifies them with structures. structural rendition of the means of particular representations by mathematical models in structural identity of the source model and its target explains the fact that inferences may means of some scientific representations – typical in mathematical modelling that ./cache/work_nvfh42hbbbh5fh4267bls4duwi.pdf ./txt/work_nvfh42hbbbh5fh4267bls4duwi.txt
