That's a complicated sentence and I'm not sure what you mean - but I
formulated no model. I said that scientific (and common sense) theories
*are models*. They certainly are not confined to an "already established
circle...etc". Otherwise all physics would still be Newtonian and there'd
be no quantum mechanics and relativity, much less string theory and MWI.

So what have you come up with? Is it not a model, but reality itself?
