Talk:System model

A scientific model seeks to represent empirical objects, phenomena, and physical processes in a logical and objective way. A system model is a set of interacting or interdependent entities, real or abstract, forming an integrated whole. In general, a system is a construct or collection of different elements that together can produce results not obtainable by the elements alone.[12] The concept of an 'integrated whole' can also be stated in terms of a system embodying a set of relationships which are differentiated from relationships of the set to other elements, and from relationships between an element of the set and elements not a part of the relational regime.

That's, uh... great, but what does any of this mean? What would I use this for? Googling "system model" leads me back here, so that's not much of an answer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.233.40.74 (talk) 03:58, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
