= Minimal model (physics)
{wiki=Minimal_model_(physics)}
In physics, particularly in the context of theoretical physics and cosmology, a "minimal model" refers to a simplified theoretical framework that captures the essential features of a particular phenomenon while disregarding unnecessary complexities. Minimal models are often used in various branches of physics, such as particle physics, cosmology, condensed matter physics, and more. The purpose of a minimal model is to provide a starting point for understanding a system or to serve as a baseline for more complicated scenarios.
