Tunnel modeling - version 1.0

Good time to read, dear users of Habr!
The proposed post proposes a tunnel modeling notation, originally described in the Tunnel Modeling articles - version 0.9 and the Zachman Approach Transformation .

The basis of the approach is the Descartes dualism, for which a mathematical model is proposed in the form of two rotating hyperbolic surfaces - abstract (above) and material (below) (Fig. 1).

In the framework of the proposed model, it is assumed that the simplification of the abstract occurs infinitely up, the simplification of the material goes infinitely down, and the complication occurs infinitely when approaching the middle. It is proposed to evaluate the terms of the domain in clusters, for which the angle between the axis and the cone is determined by the formula
w = arctg (1 / x 2 ) , x = q n ,
where q > 1 is the scale factor, n is the whole number of the boundary between the clusters.

For definiteness, we assume that for n= 0 in the material there is a boundary between systems (biology) and processes (psychology). Similarly, in the field of the abstract, clusters of cultural and political studies are divided.

The following distribution of clusters by levels of complexity can be proposed:

This approach was used to analyze the terminology of the textbook on system-engineering thinking A.I. Levenchuk, wherein (with the introduction of the horizontal division phase in quality control cycle) to obtain the following distribution:

for terms used in the methodology IDEF0 (SADT) can be demonstrated by the following abstraction and complication chain reflectingDeming-Shewhart cycle :

The use of this set in the analysis of the subject area revealed its insufficiency in describing the types of resources. In this regard, a separate set of images is proposed for types of resources:

This set of graphic elements has no less expressiveness than EPC and has more regularity than BPMN , which suggests the possibility of using it for human-machine modeling. systems. The distribution of the levels of complexity was used in the analysis of the documentation of large projects.

I ask the participants to indicate subject areas that are poorly covered by this approach.
