Your dualism between model and world is nearly Cartesian. The model itself isn't separate from the world but produced materially (by ideology, sociality, naturally, etc.).

- kelseyfrog 1y ago> The model itself isn't separate from the world but produced materially To me this is like drawing a circuit diagram on a piece of paper and trying to convince someone that, "Really there is electricity flowing through it." Models are relations between signifiers. There exists a transformation between the signified relations and the relations of the signifiers, but they are, in fact, two separate categories and the transformation isn't bijective. ie it doesn't form an isomorphism.
