Abstract

This article will address an important and problematic topic: the modeling of scientific entities. For this, the transcendental foundations that allow, in scientific models, homomorphic and isomorphic operations as semiotic conditions of a model for the construction of knowledge will be reviewed. In principle, these semiotic operations imply that some models in science assume a semantic commitment in the way of representing their objects, others, on the other hand, start from the semiotic foundations of iconicity. However, the problem is the following: it is not resolved if a scientific model must assume a commitment to exist with the represented object so that, from there, plausible knowledge is built for a scientific community. In a radical way, an interesting epistemological problem is observed: can a model show the existence of a scientific entity?
