- the physical systems/situations where the model applies and vocabulary of involved objects, state variables, and agents(interactions) involved.
- specification of the independent and dependent (measurable) state variables that characterize the system and which the model interrelates
- what idealizations and physical theories underlie the model and the resulting equations, representations
- descriptions of the model and interpretation of its predictions as expressed in all various useful representations
- the behavior/change in state, geometric, temporal, and interaction structure
