rollmodeller
A rollmodeller is a conceptual tool or framework used to understand and predict the behavior of a system over time. It involves creating a model that represents the state of the system at a given point in time and then defining rules or functions that describe how that state changes to the next point in time. This "rolling" aspect refers to the continuous or sequential updating of the model's state, moving forward through discrete time steps or a continuous progression.
These models are particularly useful in fields like economics, physics, biology, and computer science. For instance,
