By “representation”, it is meantthat some visual symbol (often simple in nature), diagram, or other communication device isemployed to represent or model a more complex “real” object. Often the represented object is infact “real”. For example, a mechanical engineering text may present a simple diagram intendedto represent an actual pump (see Figure One).
