Abstract

The previous chapters have exposed us to the basic concepts of OPM, yet we have barely scratched the surface of the system we are modeling. In this chapter, we specify more details about the system while revealing some more modeling concepts of OPM and how they can be utilized to represent our system in more detail. In order to examine the text that specifies the system we are modeling, we return our focus to information from the first sentences:

The deepest parts of the ocean are totally unknown to us… What goes on in those distant depths? What creatures inhabit, or could inhabit, those regions twelve or fifteen miles beneath the surface of the water? It’s almost beyond conjecture.

Jules Verne, 20,000 Leagues under the Sea (1869)
