Abstract

Models are the cornerstones of scientific thought. They illuminate complex realities, provide keys for interpretation and solutions, and serve as training grounds for intellectual tolerance, rigorous reasoning, flexibility, and humility. This note describes three models, which with a touch of contemporaneity, share the attempt to elucidate what surrounds us. In their diversity, they demonstrate how to delve into the social and linguistic complexity with heightened awareness and a critical spirit.
