+
+<p>modelthing is a set of software tools for collaboratively editing
+symbolic models of real world systems.
+
+<p><b>What kind of real world systems?</b> any system that can be described by
+algebraic differential equations. Examples: a double pendulum, population
+dynamics in ecology, Moore's Law of increasing transistor density, the light
+emited by an LED as a factor of current and voltage, real estate prices as a
+factor of rent control, etc.
+
+<p><b>What kind of symbolic models?</b> models which both hold semantic meaning
+and can be computed. machines should be able to translate the models between
+different symbolic, graphical, and interactive mediums, and both humans and
+machines should be able reason with and judge the appropriateness of the
+models.
+
+<p><b>What kind of collaborative editing?</b> aspirationally, rational discourse
+between strangers on the internet who come to progressively more accurate
+consensus. The models should be re-usable by hierarchal reference, with
+automated tooling to cross-check for compatibility.
+
+<p><b>Does it work?</b> there's no "here" here, yet, just some sketches and
+experiments.
