Abstract

The hierarchy or the network, which allows modeling at several levels is deep-rooted in the higher categories frames. Models of models, that is, meta-models allowing the study of processes of processes, and so on, are presented.

Four realms general PSM frames results by integrative closure.

Innovative is the model categorification for multiple levels modeling. This imposes making use of unconventional notions of time and probabilities.

Non-Archimedean frames based on infinitesimals and on non-well-founded sets are presented.
