No, a model is a theory regardless of whether we understand how it works. All formal models have unexplored hypotheses. >

< e.g. I have published models 10 yrs ago and am still discovering their latent hypotheses. It's a fertile ground for new work

But I don't think it's a problem. I see specifications of models as approximate theories. But model == theory? Not for me.

in essence, ie outside the theory. For example using just a model one might assume things have to be implemented as in the model whereas the

For example you can within the same theory produce different models.

This is my understanding and I'm sure others have their own ideas about differences. Same as differences between theory and hypothesis.

You can also accidentally create models which do stuff outside the theoretical framework because it was underspecfied.
