Logic Model Theory

A logic Model entity :

LM 

The list of 7 arguments of a logic model:

ARGS[LM] 

the arguments are separated into 2 parts

Abstract[LM]
Concrete[LM] 

• the Abstract[LM] base/frame the Concrete[LM]
• The Implementation of a Logic Model is based on Concrete[IM]. When implementing, the input starts to be actually transformed into output by the specified process (deterministic or non? or both?).
• The actual input, actual process, actual output is

State[LM]

• The Evaluation of a Logic Model is to compare the output and the Success Criteria to check whether the SC is finished.

Evaluation[SC,State] =>  the SC[LM] is determined 

• The Verification of a Logic Model is to verify the attribute of the model based on ARGS[LM]. It does not depend on the State.

Verification[SC, ARGS] => some SC is determined

• The verification counterpart in a logic model expression:

 VML

• The relation between LM and VML:

Context[VLM]: share with LM (?) 
Goal[VLM]: Verify LM 
Success Criteria[VLM]: Correctness, Speed, Completeness of Verification 
Ouput[VLM]: Verification results, predicting which conditions will meet in which conditions and why (additionally, the process information helps itself to optimize) 
Process[VLM]: Workflows (need examples)
Input[VLM]: The Logic Model which is in the accepted domain. 
Boundary condition:  ?
