Because of semantic pluralism and irreducible intentionality, this similarity analysis of theory interpretation cannot be accommodated within a hierarchy of models approach, interpreted as a neat model nesting based on pre-given semantic relations among models at different levels.
Suárez discusses complexities in van Fraassen's analyses of scientific representation and theory interpretation (Suárez 1999, 2011).
However, in order to better understand correspondence rules, two of their functions will be considered: (i) theory interpretation (Carnap, Hempel) and (ii) theory reduction (Nagel, Schaffner).
With this qualification and the five theses above in mind, let us now turn to the Pragmatic View's analysis of theory structure and theory interpretation.
The similarity analysis of theory interpretation combines semantic and pragmatic dimensions (Giere 1988, 2004, 2010; Giere, Bickle, and Mauldin 2006; Weisberg 2013).
An information theory interpretation of the new scheme follows, ending with the investigation of the behaviour of the algorithm subject to fading channels.
When well pattern is a little more complex, analytical expressions can't be obtained, which will make the theory interpretation error broaden.
If the complexity theory interpretation is correct, then this will have a significant impact on the design of clinical trials in homeopathy and, possibly, other complementary medical interventions.
Interestingly, and as a defender of an identity strategy (see Conclusion), Friedman also appeals to embedding and subsumption relations between theory and phenomena in his analyses of theory interpretation (Friedman 1981, 1983; see Winther 2009, 136 8).
