Data, Models and Morphisms: On Suppes’s Intuitive Structuralism

models of data, partial substructure, intended interpretation, empirical contentAbstract
In this paper I analyze certain concepts of Patrick Suppes’ intuitive structuralism, in particular that of model of data, in order to give a reply to Muller’s critique to Suppes that the set-theoretical axiomatization of a physical theory involves the loss of its empirical content. With that intention, before, I try a formal improvement of Suppes’ propose on how the models of experiments are connected with thetheoretical models.
