"We can describe music in natural languages like English. We can characterise a piece of music as 'loud', or 'fast', or 'uplifting', etc. But certain contexts, e.g., when composing or performing music, demand a higher degree of precision than is possible in ordinary English. Composers wouldn’t get far saying things like: 'Play a loud happy bit for a while, then go a bit quieter and more gloomy'. For this reason, musicians use a special language, a set of concepts and formal n...otations, with which to express musical ideas more clearly. It can be a bit baffling for the unfamiliar, but once you’ve learned it, this opens up many more possibilities for musical collaboration and creativity. The use of formal methods in philosophy is very similar, I think."

"In most general terms, any representation that is the product of a scientific endeavour is a scientific representation. These representations are a heterogeneous group comprising anything from thermometer readings and flow charts to verbal descriptions, photographs, X-ray pictures, digital imagery, equations, models, and theories. How do these representations work?"
New Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on Scientific Representation, by Roman Frigg and James Nguyen.
Science provides us with representations of atoms, elementary particles, polymers, populations, genetic trees, economies, rational decisions, aeroplanes, earthquakes, forest fires, irrigation systems, and the world’s climate. It’s through these representations that we learn about the world. This ent...
