Syntax and first entropic approximation of L(M_T): A language for ecological modelling

Abstract

Any mathematical model underlying a system of the complex reality (for example, in ecology, socioeconomy, etc.) defines a text written in a given language which belongs to a literature. A text‐model based language, L(M_T) is developed, which focuses on its syntax. Three generative grammars are built for its alphabet (lexic unities). Further, the linguistic entropy of this language is analyzed from the Vakar’s point of view. Finally, this theory is applied to a particular ecological model, as an example of a text written in L(M_T).
