* Introduce Design Approach * explain the differences (and overlap) between the Design Approach (ref paper) and the whatIf? Platform * Concepts * separation between physical and control "layers" (Rob prefers "components") * OSI analogy - kinda maybe useful, but perhaps a bit too techie for a general audience? * lowest layer comprised of laws of thermodynamics, conservation of mass, etc. * natural and human processes - not quite clear whether they're hierarchical, or parallel or both...? * notes on diagrams: use diagram similar to that in //Evolution of Socio-economic modelling// paper. If OSI diagram is used in conjunction, standardize diagrammatic notation; arrow coming into the bottommost layer..what is it? * control space can be represented with formal "behavioural" models (our models thus far haven't delved too deep here); design approach stresses the importance of the model user being an active part of the system, and source of novelty and learning.
