This paper attempts to define the concept of finite level models within the context of systems theory and to indicate the applicability of this concept to biological systems. The rationale for finite level models is considered, and the concepts of quantization and the techniques for achieving it are described. The utility of these models, particularly for hypothesis testing, is examined in some detail.
