Abstract
When we talk about biological organisms as systems we refer to the enormous number of mutually reinforcing, competing and counter acting feedback mechanisms that regulate the biological processes in space and time. We cannot hope to capture all aspects of such a highly integrated system in any model. The first and most important step in the biological modeling process must, therefore, be to establish a clear picture of the purpose of the project.
