This book introduces the concept of ad-hoc syntaxes to explain why pictorial means can bear epistemic weight in the context of formal scientific reasoning. The main line of argumentation follows up on works by Laura Perini and Nelson Goodman, and is backed up by practical examples from the field of scientific visualisation.
