Model sets are projections of certain lattice subsets. It was realised by Moody that dynamical properties of such a set are induced from the torus associated with the lattice. We follow and extend this approach by studying dynamics on the graph of the map which associates lattice subsets to points of the torus and then transferring the results to their projections. This not only leads to transparent proofs of known results on model sets, but we also obtain new results on so-called weak model sets. In particular we prove pure point dynamical spectrum for the hull of a weak model set of maximal density together with the push forward of the torus Haar measure under the torus parametrisation map, and we derive a formula for its pattern frequencies. * These notes profited enormously from talks by and/or discussions with Michael Baake, Tobias Hartnick, Johannes Kellendonk, Mariusz Lemańczyk, Daniel Lenz, Tobias Oertel-Jäger and Nicolae Strungaru, from several inspiring workshops in the framework of the DFG Scientific Network "Skew Product Dynamics and Multifractal Analysis" organised by Tobias Oertel-Jäger, and finally from very helpful and supporting comments of an anonymous referee.• we obtain as a warm-up some relatives to well known topological results on maximal equicontinuous factors and the lack of weak mixing (Theorem 1),• we can introduce a general notion of Mirsky measures, namely the push forward of Haar measure onX under the map ν W , compare [19,17,34,51],• we show that the systems equipped with this Mirsky measure have pure point dynamical spectrum (Theorem 2),• we prove strict ergodicity when m H (∂W) = 0 (Theorem 2),• we identify the Mirsky measure as the unique invariant measure with maximal density for typical configurations (Theorem 4),• we show that the configurations with maximal density are precisely the generic points for the Mirsky measure (Theorem 5),• and we deduce from this a formula for the pattern frequencies of configurations with maximal density (Remark 3.12), which is also discussed in [5, Rem. 5].While the measure theoretic assertions from this list "survive" the passage to configurations on G even if the relevant projection is not 1-1, some finer information can be transferred in this way only if that projection is 1-1 when restricted to sufficiently large subsets. This issue is discussed in Section 4 for model sets with interval windows, topologically regular windows and B-free systems.
