| Administration | 1: (1) (General) An idealized representation of reality developed to describe, analyze, or understand the behavior of some aspect of it. (2) (Mathematical and Statistical) A simulation, by descriptive, conceptual, statistical, or other means, of a process or thing that is difficult or impossible to observe directly, as in an Economic Consumption Model or a River Flow Model. A descriptive or conceptual model is one which represents the structure or mechanisms of a model but does not specify the relationships in numerical form. The concept of a (simulation) quantitative model is to approximate reality by means of a quantifiable process such as a mathematical equation or series of equations. In this way the model may be used to simulate various changes in conditions in a "what if" or predictive framework. The fundamental premise of model building is that within some defined bounds of statistical probability a model may be constructed based upon the past behavior of some numeric quantity or variable, or a set of such variables, so as to be able to predict the future behavior of that variable. The actual structure of the model represents the underlying set of assumptions about a phenomenon based on the model builder’s view of reality, theoretical underpinnings, proven or probable causal relationships, and deductions and inferences from past observations and experience. To be manageable and useful as a predictive tool, the model must sufficiently simplify the complexities of reality so as to lend itself to some quantifiable structure. However, this simplifying process must not be so extensive as to weaken the model’s validity and negate its usefulness as an explanatory and predictive tool.

| Energy | 1: A simplified representation of a physical process. (references) | 2: Computer package used to help visualize something or predict behavior that either (1) cannot be directly observed or (2) would be time-consuming and expensive to test. (references) | |
| Environment | 1: (1) A conceptual description and the associated mathematical representation of a system, subsystem, component, or condition that is used to predict changes from a baseline state as a function of internal and/or external stimuli and as a function of time and space. (2) A depiction of a system, phenomenon, or process including any hypotheses required to describe the system or explain the phenomenon or process. (references) | 2: A 3-dimensional image of the terrain seen when a pair of overlapping photographs is viewed stereoscopically. When the model is correctly oriented to the horizontal and vertical datums, the terrain is accurately represented in miniature. (references) | 3: A depiction of a system, phenomenon, or process including any hypotheses required to describe the system or explain the phenomenon or process. The depictions may be conceptual or numerical. (references) | 4: A mathematical function with parameters that can be adjusted so the function closely describes a set of empirical data. A mechanistic model usually reflects observed or hypothesized biological or physical mechanisms, and has model parameters with real world interpretation. In contrast, statistical or empirical models selected for particular numerical properties are fitted to data; model parameters may or may not have real world interpretation. When data quality is otherwise equivalent, extrapolation from mechanistic models (e.g., biologically based dose-response models) often carries higher confidence than extrapolation using empirical models (e.g., logistic model). (references) | 5: A representation of a process, system, or phenomenon, along with any hypotheses required to describe the process or system or explain the phenomenon, often mathematically.

| Mining | 1: A representation of a thing; sometimes a facsimile. An abstraction from reality, an attempt to present some of the important features of a real thing (system) in a simplified way to aid understanding. Some models use words, pictures, diagrams, and/ or mathematical equations to present an idealized representation of reality for purposed of describing, analyzing, understanding, and predicting the behavior of some aspect of it. Applicable to a broad class of representations, ranging from a relatively simple qualitative description of a system or organization, to a physical model, to a highly abstract set of mathematical equations or computer program (http://fwie.fw.vt.edu/rhgiles/appendices/glossa.htm). (references) | 2: A. A facsimile in three dimensions--a reproduction in miniature of the surface and underground workings of a mine, showing the shafts, tunnels, crosscuts, etc., in all their details. From its very nature, it does not fall within any definition of the word map and it is a misapplication of the term to call it a map, though it may far better serve the purpose in hand b. A unifying concept that explains or describes a complex phenomenon. See also: mineral deposit model. (references) | 3: In the sciences, a model is an estimate of how something works. A model will usually have inputs and outputs that correspond to its real-world counterpart. An adaptive system also contains an implicit model of its environment that allows it to change its behavior in anticipation of what will happen in the environment.

| 8-Circuit Model of Consciousness | The 8-Circuit Model of Consciousness is a heuristic model of consciousness proposed by Timothy Leary. Perhaps somehow reminiscing Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs, Leary believed the mind is best viewed as a collection of 8 "circuits", also called "gears" or "mini-brains". Each stage represents a higher stage of evolution than the one before it. The first four, which Leary presumed to reside in the left lobe of the cerebrum, are concerned with the survival of organisms on earth; the other four, which Leary suggested are found in the right lobe, are for use in the future evolution of man, and are dormant in the majority of human beings.
