This illustrates the point that mathematics is distinct from the real world
in the sense of Plato and Hilbert

. The diagram illustrates that a problem will originate in the real world and is
then transferred to he abstract world of mathematics . Here it is solved but we
only have a mathematical solution. This solution must now be transferred
back to the context of the real world from which it came.

This two way transfer process is what I define as mathematical modelling.
