In the Administration building at Linkopi ] ng University we have
one of Oscar Reutersvard' ] s "Impossible Figures" in three
dimensions. I call it "Perspectives of Science." When viewed from a
speci c point in space there is order and structure in the
3-dimensional gure. When viewed from other points there is disorder
and no structure. If a speci c scienti c paradigm is used, there is
order and structure; otherwise there is disorder and no structure.
My perspective in Transportation Science has focused on
understanding the mathematical structure and the logic underlying
the choice probability models in common use. My book with N. F.
Stewart on the Gravity model (Erlander and Stewart 1990), was
written in this perspective. The present book stems from the same
desire to understand underlying assumptions and structure. It
investigateshow far a new way of de ning Cost-Minimizing Behavior
can take us.Itturnsoutthatall

probability functions - follow from cost-minimizing behavior de ned
in the new way. In addition some new nested models appear."
