Computer Science / Unit 3 CS 0121 short lesson, about 20 seconds
"The Model Is the World"
Captions available
The idea
Treating a model as the reality it simplified mistakes the frame for the picture — every model did deliberate violence to its subject to expose usable regularities.
In practice
A grading model scoring participation by messages posted measures posting, and only posting.
Where people slip
A model's outputs inherit its erasures.
