few lines in the relationship that often in the history of human thought, it was introduced (and established) between models and ideologies and reality. And why is counterproductive from the model, rather than from the world around us . Not forgetting the great principles , polar star in the dark. From Palomar by Italo Calvino.
To build a model-knew-Palomar, we must start from something, that you have to have principles from which to derive its reasoning by deduction. [...] The model is by definition one in which there is nothing to change what works to perfection, while the reality we see that it does not work and pulp from all sides. [...] All the tears and contortions and compressions that human reality must be to identify the model should be considered temporary and minor accidents. But if for a moment he stopped to fix the harmonic geometrical figure drawn in the sky ideal models, the jump in the eyes, a human landscape in which the monstrosity and disasters were by no means disappeared and the lines of the design appeared warped and twisted.
What we wanted then was a work of fine adjustment, which make gradual adjustments to the model to bring it closer to a possible reality, and reality to bring it closer to the model. In fact, the degree of adaptability of human nature is not unlimited, as he initially believed, and in return the more severe model can also show unexpected elasticity. In short, if the model fails to transform reality, the reality should be able to transform the model .
Palomar's rule was gradually changing: now he needed a variety of models , changed into one another according to a combinatorial, to find what is best suitable for a reality which in turn was always made of many different realities in time and space.[...] He was limited to just imagine a fair use of models to fill the ' gaping abyss he saw more and more between reality and the principles .
