Line 284: ===Real-world modeling and relationships=== OOP can be used to associate real-world objects and processes with digital counterparts. However, not everyone agrees that OOP facilitates direct real-world mapping or that real-world mapping is even a worthy goal; [[Bertrand Meyer]] argues in ''[[Object-Oriented Software Construction]]''<ref name="Meyer230">{{cite book \|title=Object-Oriented Software Construction \|author=Bertrand Meyer, ~~Second~~\|edition=2nd ~~Edition,~~\|date=1997 p.\|isbn=0-13-629155-4 ~~230~~\|publisher=Prentice-Hall}\|url=https://bertrandmeyer.com/OOSC2/}}</ref> on page 230 that a program is not a model of the world but a model of some part of the world; "Reality is a cousin twice removed". At the same time, some principal limitations of OOP have been noted.<ref>M.Trofimov, ''OOOP – The Third "O" Solution: Open OOP.'' First Class, [[Object Management Group\|OMG]], 1993, Vol. 3, issue 3, p.14.</ref> For example, the [[circle-ellipse problem]] is difficult to handle using OOP's concept of [[inheritance (object-oriented programming)\|inheritance]].
