In M-V-C, and Model is fundamentally a source of information to be used by =
the View.

"The *model* manages the behavior and data of the application domain, respo=
nds to requests =

for information about its state (usually from the view), and responds to in=
structions to =

change state (usually from the controller)."

An arbitrary helper subroutine used by the Controller is not a Model.  Sinc=
e it is =

side-effect only, it matches one of the links in the graph (Controller TO M=
odel) so it =

"fits" in the architecture provides the proper connectivity.  But that is a=
 kludge, not =

its proper usage.
