Abstract
The paper considers the logico-semantical concept of the model as a special interpretation of the deductive formalized theory. Understood in this way, the model of a theory is a real system of objects which satisfies its axioms. This notion of the model arises from Tarski’s theory of truth and, in this case, the model is represented by real objects. However, it is more natural to consider a theoretical conceptual system as a model of real systems. The structuralist view of theories as predicates that determine possible application domains is a more natural understanding of the relation between the model and the simulated area.
