Mäki's account of models as isolations spells out certain views that defenders of Section 3 summarizes Mäki's attempts to characterize models as isolations. the experimenter causally manipulates real entities, the theoretical isolator manipulates representations (Mäki 1994, 151). In particular, it claims that the factors and causal mechanisms represented by a successful isolating theory are real, in the partition that the This account characterizes isolation through the three properties of the theory construction process discussed in this section, namely isolation base, procedure, and Mäki thus drew on his earlier analogy of material experiments and theoretical isolations to characterize models. Mäki suggests that Schelling's model isolates a social mechanism, but admits that the Then Mäki's claim—that theoretical modellers isolate in a way similar In Mäki's reading, completeness is an idealizing assumption to isolate the causal	./cache/work_qjzoustwevfwlbcax5vo472ewy.pdf	./txt/work_qjzoustwevfwlbcax5vo472ewy.txt
