Model-based Explanation

Model-Based Explanation is an academic concept in which a model serves as the primary means of explaining phenomena by specifying the underlying mechanisms, structures, or processes that generate observed outcomes, distinguishing it from other forms of explanation by its reliance on explicit, often formalized, representational systems to simulate, predict, or clarify causal or functional relationships.
