  |  | 
 | "Maps" are dimension-aware functions in space-time, often tied to data streams (e.g., IRI tsvs, geotiffs).
  |  | 
 | Maps of different resolutions can be manipulated transparently.  Example:
  |  | 
 | 
  |  | 
 | <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
  |  | 
 |    GeographicMap<double>& degreeDayMelt = 
  |  | 
 |       (degreeDayFactor + degreeDaySlope * elevation)
  |  | 
 |       * (snowCover / 100) * (surfaceTemp - ZERO_CELSIUS)
  |  | 
 |       * (surfaceTemp >= ZERO_CELSIUS);
  |  | 
 | </syntaxhighlight>
  |  | 
 | 
  |  | 
 | * elevation is a static map at <math>1 km</math> resolution
  |  | 
 | * surfaceTemp is a daily varying map at <math>.25^\circ</math> resolution, read from the file 1 day at a time
  |  | 
 | * snowCover is a weekly varying map at <math>.33^\circ</math> resolution, reconstructed for past years

  |  | 
 | Variables can represent relationships or differential equations between other variables.
  |  | 
 | 
  |  | 
 | Example (the heat equations):

 | <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
  |  | 
 | q = -k * Grad(u);

 | Diff(u) = (-1 / c_p * rho) * Div(q);
  |  | 
 | </syntaxhighlight>
  |  | 
 |

 | The   equations themselves are saved within <code>q</code> and   <code>Diff(u)</code>, so the model can be run.

 | * <math>Y(t) = K(t)^\alpha L(t)^{1-\alpha} \epsilon(t)</math>

 | <slide title="Case Study: Networked Economics">
  |  | 
 | Step 2: Make a "distributed" analog to Solow growth:
  |  | 
 | 
  |  | 
 | * Multiple firms, with individual capital stocks
  |  | 
 | * Separate growth and decay: <math>g[t] = s Y[t]</math>, <math>d[t] = \delta K[t]</math>
  |  | 
 | * If <math>g[t] \ge d[t]</math>, growth: <math>K[t+1] = K[t] + g[t]</math>
  |  | 
 | * If <math>g[t] < d[t]</math>, stagnation: <math>K[t+1] = K[t]</math>
  |  | 
 | ** And probability of collapse, so expected value follows Solow
  |  | 
 | ** <math>K[t+1] = K[t] + g[t] - d[t] = (1 - P(c)) K[t] \implies P(c) = (d[t] - g[t]) / K[t]</math>
  |  | 
 | * Firms can make connections to each other, which increase "technology" (specialization) factor

 | Amalgamated modeling allows models to interact, specialize, and "overlap".
  |  | 
 | 
  |  | 
 | Every model is incomplete; applies to a constrained context.

 | :'''Let's embrace partial models!'''
  |  | 
 | Want a "plugin architecture", where models can easily be allowed to interact
  |  | 
 | 
  |  | 
 | Coupling causes feedback, and models are defined at different scales.
