Structuralism and the Quest for Lost Reality

Abstract The structuralist approach represents the relation between a model and physical system as two mathematical structures. However, since is prima facie not structure, seemingly fails to represent fact that science about concrete, reality. In this paper, I take up problem of lost reality suggest how it may be solved in purely fashion. start by briefly introducing both discussing various (non-structuralist) solutions have been proposed literature. Following this, decompose into ontological mismatch specification problems. response former, present metascientific dissolution argument , according which difference kind structures systems poses no deep obstacle approach, consider some upshots for our views on representation. By way conclusion, argue paves solution well.
