Modeling the World

For a piece of information to be related to it needs three essential components: the sign to portray the image, the thing that it is portraying, and agents or people to relate to the information. If one of these things is missing, then there will be a distortion in the information that is trying to be conveyed. The main thing that I took away from this is that information tries to make a relation in nature. This relation can link people to the thing that is being displayed to have information understood. Other ways that people relate information is by using models. Models are very useful tools in the scientific process.
