System of Models and Methods

This is a first attempt to make sense of the tools and methods that we use. Like a craftsman we simply reach for the tool we need when we need it. Or task now is to organize the tools so others might better know when to use a particular tool and even what are useful sequences for using to tools to create or repair something.

Kerry will create patterns for CLD, Stock Flow, and Sys Dyn models here
