Toward Interpretation of Complex Structural Models
Abstract
The interpretation of complex structural models is facilitated by a variety of operations that can be carried out by a computer. Several of these involve partitions on a reachability matrix, which describes a contextual relation among the elements of the system under study. When partitioning of the reachability matrix in various ways does not permit adequate interpretation, cycles are usually the source of difficulty. A weighting matrix applied to the elements of a maximal cycle set permits a set of digraphs to be developed, which allows for more detailed interpretation of a cycle. When still further development is needed, the maximal cycle sets can be identified and placed in a hierarchy based on an inclusion relation. This hierarchy suggests a natural order of study of the system proceeding from the least complex maximal cycle sets to the most complex sets.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
