ab initio model

[plasm0x]

Quantum Physics and Classical Mechanics are both ab initio models as we have observed quantum and classical behavior in nature and have successfully formulated mathematical models to simulate and predict this behavior. First principles include Newton’s equations and the Schrodinger equation for the classical and quantum theories, respectively. Classical electrodynamics is also an ab initio model which follows from Maxwell’s equations, and other properties (such as Coulomb’s law) and fundamental constants (such as charge).
