## BModels

## Math Models

- [Physics](https://knowen.org/nodes/18?path=1-18), and all [Math-based Sciences](https://knowen.org/nodes/26506?path=1-24392-26506)

## Similarities

- components and interactions

As in physics, objects are not important, but processes/laws of motion/models are important and universal. Always not obvious.

## Differences

- BMs are qualitative, while MMs are quantitative

more uncertainty in BMs, so being qualitative is sufficient
