Hi, Hal, I feel we have a semantic dichotomy: using "model" in diverse meanings. As I guess yours is a 'metaphoric compendium" some simulation of a 'total' into usable terms from other sources, while I use the word as a cut-off from totality, focussing on the characteristics (content?) relevant to the study (observation, discussion), omitting the 'not involved' connotations. 'Yours' is more comprehensive, 'mine' is incomplete, reductionistic.
