Interpretation of States Structures in the Control of Development of Ecosystems

Abstract:

This paper continues in the topic of qualitative modeling that were applied for Small Water Cycle violation in ecosystem of Trebon region, South Bohemia. The situation when is impossible to form a semantic content of a sign formation in higher level of sign model is a typical case of “bottom-up emergence”. The paper proposes new method how to avoid this principal obstacle. The method is illustrated in the simple state model of a climate change in an ecosystem.
