Rapp, Stefan: Domains, Boundaries, and Transition Functions: On the Domain-Relative Validity, Migration, and Coupling of Models under Finite Conditions

_Zenodo_. 2026Models are often treated as though they were generally valid or readily transferable to other contexts. This leads to misapplications, apparent contradictions, and forms of model overextension. By contrast, this paper develops a domain-based perspective within Epistemics as model management under finite conditions. Domains are not presupposed as given regions but are understood as functionally reconstructed spaces of order with their own functional logic, their own conditions of st
