peilimallit
Peilimallit are models designed to reflect or mirror another system or representation. The term, formed from peili meaning mirror and malli meaning model, is used in Finnish to describe modeling approaches that reproduce essential features, patterns, or relationships of a source, often to illuminate, compare, or validate.
Usage and scope: The concept is not tied to a single discipline; its meaning adapts to context.
Limitations and considerations: Peilimallit are flexible, context-dependent constructs rather than standardized methodologies, and their definitions vary
