A model is not devoted to an explication of why it works. But used to
try to find how you can try to explain it. By making a description
of a phenomenon, you try to mimic the characteristics of this
phenomenon. It's not meant to be true or false, but it needs to be able to be
falsifiable (proven that it's wrong or not accurate). And to be
falsifiable it means that you need to be able to reproduce it and
compare the whole set of results between the experiments…
