[Csnd] A little English Problem

Subject[Csnd] A little English Problem
In Eduardo Reck Miranda's "Computer Sound Design" book there's a chapter called "Loose modelling approaches: Modulation, Waveshaping, Walsh Synthesis, Binary Instruction .. ".
Turkish translation of the word "loose" is something like "not tight", "rare". So, why are those synthesis models called "loose" ? Or does it have another meaning here ?
Thanks.

In that context, "loose" would be better translated to "approximate".
