Abstract

A graphical representation of the model-theoretic structure of explanation is used to reconstruct five distinct specializations of Mendelian genetics. Structural variations between the five models are highlighted and used to establish an inter-model variation sequence. Furthermore, the authors explore a geometrical format for the representation of thematic domains, which may reveal important tendencies of conceptual variation
