摘要

At the 2002 Congress of the System Dynamics Society, the author presented a new stock-flow diagramming language replacing the tank-pipe analogy classical in System Dynamics (SD) by a generalised chemical reaction. He argued that its use results often in better, more intuitive and less spaghetti-like stock-Flow diagrams (SFD). The paper was very well received by its reviewers. However, its presentation at the congress was disappointing since, despite its confrontational character, it elicited almost no reactions. With hindsight, it became evident that the author had focused too much on the new language and not enough on a detailed analysis of why the current method may be unsatisfactory. Henceforth, the present paper presents this detailed study of the SFD language used in SD. We restrict our attention to the parts of a SFD which represents flows of matter-like entities (tangibles). Focusing on models in population dynamics we begin by presenting their basic problem: visual complexity due to a spaghetti-like aspect. We then argue that, in addition, these models do not match well the structure of our mental models and thus lack intuitiveness. We then show that a new metaphor, replacing the tank Pipe systems of our classical SFD by generalised pluri-molecular chemical reactions called (N,M)-processes eliminates all the problems discussed. We present a way to combine a set of (N,M)-processes in a map displaying their interactions intuitively and parsimoniously. Finally, we argue that the use of these maps is not restricted to chemical or population dynamics models but may be used very fruitfully in other applications like for instance in Business Dynamics. We end up by referring the reader to our previous Palermo paper for a discussion of the translation of these maps in fully fledged computational models called. Kinetic Process Graphs or KPG. Which, in our opinion, should supersede the stock-flow diagramming method currently used.
