The social scientist Madan Sarup uses the example of his passport, which gives information about his identity in an official sense. Our passports name, describe and place us. A passport describes an individual; it names one person. It also states to which group, in particular which nation, that person belongs: 3.1 (4A) Exploring dynamic relationships using sign graphs Here is where things start getting really interesting in terms of system dynamics! So far, most of your modelling work has been pretty static, with a limited sense of how things change over time. In fact, the behaviour of complex systems is rarely stable. Sometimes change is exponential (e.g. the growth of the World Wide Web); sometimes systems crash and burn (e.g. extinction of populations); but often systems demonstrate repetitive patterns of behaviour (e.g. economic boom and bust cycles). 2012 March 13 - Part 3 Prof. Adams uses curvature arguments to compare the energy eigenstates of finite and infinite square wells and asks questions regarding the physicality of the energy eigenstates of an infinite square well.
