Normal Physiology
From WickedSim
If we are to simulate effectively, we need a good model of what we're simulating. There should be good correspondence between our simulation and what we see in real life. Our model should be testable, and where the model fails, we should be clear why it fails, and be able to adapt the model so that it better represents our perception of reality. Where people differ in their perception of reality (i.e. they have different internal models, their expression of their internal models differs, or there are other causes for lack of congruence) we should try hard to resolve such incongruities.
For example: if we take a substantial volume of blood off the METI model, the cardiac output (CO) should decrease, and certainly shouldn't increase. If the CO increases, there is something gravely wrong, and this problem should be addressed in the underlying modelling software. (Try this!)
Let's examine normal physiology first. We'll start with:
