something which a person makes up himself. A
mock-up is more than a mental
picture; it is a
self-created
image a person can see and exists as itself, or symbolizes some
object in the
physical universe. The
term was
derived from the Wor_ld
War II phrase for miniature models that were constructed to symbolize weapons (airplanes, ships, artillery, etc.) or areas of
attack (hills, rivers, buildings, etc.) for
use in
planning a battle.
Mock up is also used to simply mean "
create."
