Methods Realist Multiscale Complexity Causation

Adapted from Pawson and Tilley (1997) and Ratze et al. (2007) by Rosie Sadsad for a forthcoming book chapter. Contextual factors, mechanisms and outcomes are conceptualised as holons. Their state may change over time (t) and across levels of organisation (l). Holons are components and form part of a compound holon. Holons are connected by weak or strong links.​See also Realist Evaluation IM-1713 and Holon wikipedia and Multiscale modelling process IM-10070
