To Do

• cf. 'alternative futures'
• Scenarios may correspond to different combinations of possible actions (including do-nothing and do-insufficient). Should generation of such action sets be a precursor component?

The axes in system-dynamics diagrams don't mean anything, whereas the past-now-future diagram at least has a time axis. Maybe what we need is a higher-dimensional system-dynamics diagram that has meaningful axes; eg, representing time and space (in additional to linkage between effects). There may be more dimensions too: probability? consequences? alternative decisions? Maybe we need a series of different views of the same model (inspired by MVM, UML).
