concepts:design_approach_concepts
This is an old revision of the document!
- 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 techie
- lowest layer comprised of laws of thermodynamics, conservation of mass, etc.
- natural and human processes - not quite clear whether it's hierarchical, or parallel or both…?
- notes on diagrams: use diagram similar to that in Evolution paper. If OSI diagram is used, 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.
