Abstract
All of the symbols in a scientific theory are interpreted. They are interpreted as designating certain mathematical concepts, some of which are in turn interpreted as representing certain aspects of the world. Such a double interpretation must be shown as completely and explicitly as possible if the signification of the symbolism is to emerge clearly. But what is an interpretation, in particular a factual one? This is the central theme of the present chapter.
