The theory of mathematical or conceptual models, dealing with their construction, properties, the conditions of their validity, etc.; specifically a branch of mathematical logic dealing with the classification of mathematical structures and their elements in terms of first-order formulae that the elements satisfy. 4A theory that is based on an exemplar or model; a theory that provides an exemplar or model.
Origin Mid 19th century; earliest use found in Jabez Allies (bap. 1787, d. 1856), antiquary. From model + theory.
