Abstract:

Models are the basis of all communication and thinking. As we form ideas we think in models. As we communicate our ideas to others and absorb their thoughts, the communication is done in models. Successful communication rides on making those models match so that the ideas are accurately passed among us. The issue is not whether we use models but where those are kept. The presentation will address how we use models, where we keep and maintain them in order to promote efficient communication and how we can most efficiently and effectively communicate them.
