by end of 1960s odum s electronic circuit ecological simulation models replaced more general set of energy symbols. when combined form systems diagrams, these symbols considered odum , others language of macroscope portray generalized patterns of energy flow: describing such patterns , reducing ecosystem complexities flows of energy, odum believed, permit discovery of general ecosystem principles . have attempted link universal scientific language projects have appeared throughout history of natural philosophy
energy systems language of systems ecology developed howard odum , others, 1971.
kitching claimed language direct result of working analogue computers, , reflected electrical engineer s approach problem of system representation: because of electrical analogy, odum system relatively easy turn mathematical equations ... if 1 building model of energy flow odum system should given serious consideration...
due focus on systems thinking, odum s language appears similar in approach systems modeling language developed incose international systems engineering body.
