Model
What can come in many shapes, sizes, and styles?
It is important to emphasize that a model is not the real world but merely a human construct to help us better understand real world systems. In general all models have an information input, an information processor, and an output of expected results.
Key features in common with the development of any model is that:
simplifying assumptions must be made;
boundary conditions or initial conditions must be identified;
the range of applicability of the model should be understood.
