Abstract In the philosophy of science, models have risen from the low ranks of just mere aids to the unprecedented high ranks of model-based science. With the rise of models arise philosophical questions: what are they? How can they provide knowledge? How can they represent? Some have tried to solve these problems by seeing models as toys or props, and scientific activity as play or fiction. Some of these fictionalists are inspired by Kendall Walton’s theory of fiction. They suggest that scientific models represent reality because they function as props in scientific games of make-believe. But what does it mean to function? For Walton, it is the “social function” of props to generate fictional truths and coordinate imaginations. Despite the central role of sociality in Walton’s account, Roman Frigg and Adam Toon have almost neglected it. Here, I spell out this social function, by showing how games of make-believe have normative force. This force is provided by the playing practice of players themselves in the relevant community. I conclude by suggesting that the notion of community should be as inclusive as possible. It is constituted not only by human players but also by non-human ones.

From the Files app, scroll down to Internal storage, and tap on WhatsApp. Once you’re there, go to Media and then WhatsApp Stickers. Don’t be surprised if you find a large number of files in that folder—it holds your personal collection of stickers and every one you’ve ever received. Even the bad ones.Tap the three dots in the top right corner of your screen to Select all. If you want to trim the fat and grab only the best of the best, this is the perfect time to do so: choose the ones you want to export by long-pressing one file to activate selection mode, and then tapping on the rest. Once you’re done, hit the Share button (that “less than”-like symbol at the top of your screen). If you have a big collection—more than 500 stickers, for example—it’s possible that nothing will happen when you tap the Share button. Be patient—your phone’s just struggling with a heavy load.On the menu that pops from the bottom of the screen, choose Telegram, and then select the chat named Saved messages. This is a chat only you can see, and it will serve as your sticker bank. Unlike WhatsApp, Telegram doesn’t store your favorite stickers in a quick-access reservoir right beside the typing field, but you’ll be able to snatch them out of your Saved messages chat and forward them to any of your Telegram contacts. This also means you won’t have a quick way to save incoming stickers like you did on WhatsApp, so you’ll have to forward them from one chat to the other.
