We want to know the estimated projected Earnings before tax of a 5 year project. For this we have modeled Sales Growth, Cost of goods sold and Admin. expenses applying sensitivity testing by using probability distributions.

Causal loop diagram illustrating how evolution, in the form of small incremental change (realized through random genetic mutation) paired with natural selection, serves to evolve species.

This is a stock-flow consistent model, namely the simplest (SIM) model with government money.

(I had to change the equation for consumption demand. Disposable income and wealth now enterwith a time lag of one period. Otherwise the model would be recursive and would not be solvable in Insight Maker. Thanks to Gene for support.)

WIP Based on Gene's Enabling a Better Tomorrow Map IM-2879 this is a Specific Health Care version based on the archived Systemswiki Health Care material. The focus is on Models and Simulation, with videos and discussion in the fullness of time. I am following Gene's  Adventures in Wonderland framework. Revised for More Complex AnyLogic transition at IM-57331

This is a stock-flow consistent model, namely the simplest (SIM) model with government money. I have added imports and exports and an exchange rate which has an influence on consumption demand via real disposable income and real foreign demand.

(I had to change the equation for consumption demand. The disposable income now enters with a time lag of one period. Otherwise the model would be recursive and would not work in Insight Maker. Thanks to Gene for support.)

This model works in units of genes per year. It is assumed that Transcription, Repair and the Food Queue are all in Gene units in spite of their having different functions. The Repair process repairs Genes per year. The Transcription process transcribes Genes per year and the Exogenous Food source adds Food in Genes needed to process it per year. Transcription proportion is in Genes (10 of them split between transcription and repair). Other variables like Damage and CpG are dimensionless.
