Representation

Roles: model, subject, abstraction, omission, interpreter

The act of standing in for something else — models, symbols, proxies, and surrogates. Every representation involves a trade-off between fidelity and utility, and every act of modeling is also an act of omission. Structurally central to metaphor theory itself, since metaphors are a form of representation where one domain stands in for another.
