Abstract: Arguably, model theory serves two main functions: (1) to explain
the relationship between language and experience, and (2) to specify
the notion of logical consequence. In this paper I shall propose
the notion of `knowledge assimilation', the assimilation of new information
into a knowledge base, as an alternative understanding of
the way in which a knowledge base formulated in logic relates to externally
generated input sentences that describe experience. I shall
argue that the notion of... (Update)
