Machinations fundamentals
Learn the visual language of Machinations, build a system model and explore its behavior with Play and Forecasts.
Machinations lets you describe a system as a diagram of resources, rules and connections. This course introduces that visual language and shows how to inspect a model as it changes.
What you’ll learn
- Navigate the interface and create a diagram.
- Identify the components, resources and connections that represent a system.
- Set a time step and Play a model to inspect its behavior.
- Use Forecasts to compare possible outcomes and question the assumptions behind them.
