Description

A thoughtful examination of how people perceive, organize, and represent the real world through data, this book challenges readers to look beyond technical systems and question the assumptions built into them. It explores the relationships among facts, information, entities, and models, showing how database design reflects human choices about what matters and how things are connected. Combining conceptual clarity with practical relevance, the work addresses enduring issues in information management, systems analysis, and the limits of formal representation. Its perspective remains valuable for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how data structures shape—and sometimes distort—our view of reality.
