Necessary fiction can be seen as a tool for simplifying complex situations. In science, for example, we often use models which are a form of necessary fiction. A model of an atom is not exactly how an atom looks in reality (we can't really'see' an atom in the way the model depicts), but it helps us understand the basic structure and behavior of atoms. In the same way, in economic theories, there are assumptions that may not be entirely true in the real world but are necessary to build a framework for analysis. This way, necessary fictions are important in our intellectual and practical pursuits.
A 'necessary fiction' is something that is untrue in a literal sense but is needed or useful in a particular context. For example, in some legal systems, there are fictions like the 'legal person' concept for corporations. It's not a real person, but it's necessary for the functioning of business law.
