Long description

Three rectangles are laid out as a triangle with one rectangle at the top and two at the bottom. Arrows link the rectangles in a clockwise direction.

The rectangle at the bottom left contains the words ‘physical-world phenomenon’ and is linked via an arrow to the top rectangle called ‘mathematical model’. The arrow between them is labelled ‘create an abstraction’.

The rectangle at the top, labelled ‘mathematical model’, is connected via an arrow to the third rectangle at the bottom right, which is called ‘automation’. The arrow between them is labelled ‘automate’.

Finally, the ‘automation’ rectangle at the bottom right is linked to the ‘physical-world phenomenon’ rectangle at the bottom left via an arrow. The arrow is labelled ‘tells us more about’.
