 Suppose you have 2 models, model1 and model2, and some of the outputs of the model1 are to be used as inputs to model2. Both models are to be run over time. Two ways of implementing this are: Suppose you have 2 models, model1 and model2, and some of the outputs of the model1 are to be used as inputs to model2. Both models are to be run over time.

 For example suppose model1 was a conventional cohort population model with immigration as exogenous and model 2 was a transportation model with complex dependence on population by age. Now using feedback we want to transform the conventional cohort population model to one in which immigration was proportional to existing population. With the temporally blockwise method of handling time this can be done without ever having to evaluate model2. ​ For example suppose model1 was a conventional cohort population model with immigration as exogenous and model 2 was a transportation model with complex dependence on population by age.
