This is an extension of a model formulated by Dr. Sui Huang that has been proposed by Dr. Stefan Semrau to explain the observations of retinoic-acid driven mouse embryonic stem cells differentiation. Thereby, our main goal in this thesis is to evaluate the proposition that the model suffices as a conceptual mechanism of the performed experiments. Towards this end, we investigate how Frege’s theory of judgment can be used along with Kant’s theory of judgment to provide a systematic evaluation of phenomenological mathematical models.Show less
