FeldDavisKetl
FeldDavisKetl is a theoretical framework for modeling complex adaptive systems that combines spatial field representations with discrete agent dynamics. It aims to capture how continuous environmental variables interact with locally acting decision-makers across multiple scales, including ecological networks, urban systems, and socio-technical networks.
Origin and naming: The framework is attributed to Feld, Davis, and Ketl, whose collaborative work emphasizes
Structure and methods: FeldDavisKetl integrates three components. A field module encodes spatial variables as continuous fields;
Applications: It has been applied to ecological habitat modelling, urban traffic and land-use dynamics, and the
Limitations and outlook: Critics point to data and computational demands and potential parameter sensitivity. Proponents argue
