The three common recurring structures.

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.

Success to the successful archetype represents two reinforcing structures which may be in a delicate balance though as soon as one gains a small advantage the resource allocation favors the more successful and the result is then rapidly skewed in the direction of the more successful. See also Archetypes.

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.

Gene Bellinger's CST course requires several causation models to be developed. This is my first sheet of such models.

William T. Powers insight that animate behavior is the purposeful control of perception. Behavior exists to control perceptual signals; internal reference signals are purposes. Continual reorganization of ends and means in the face of obstacles is Learning.

This is the Project Challenge in the Insight Maker Essentials lesson on Kumu. This lesson was developed by Gene Bellinger. I developed this relationship diagram as I was following along watching Gene introduce Insight Maker.
