Recently, a number of authors have suggested that we understand scientific models in the same way as fictional characters, like Sherlock Holmes. The biggest challenge for this approach concerns the ontology of fictional characters. I consider two responses to this challenge, given by Roman Frigg, Ronald Giere and Peter Godfrey-Smith, and argue that neither is successful. I then suggest an alter...

A quick proof, by construction, of the first part of this result goes as follows: consider a rotation of π/3 radians about the point C that maps point A to point B, and M to M . Clearly, △MCM ′ is equilateral and MM ′ = MC. Since MA = M B, we conclude that △MBM ′ has sides equal to MA,MB, and MC (see Figure 1; all marked angles are equal to π/3 radians). The theorem is not classical in that not...
