As such, it is the primordial form of non-quantified modelling and combinatory heuristics. This book presents an epistemological history of non-quantified modelling: its prehistory in the form of rhetorical and epistemic \u003ci\u003echiasmus\u003c\/i\u003e; its early (pre-symbolic) use by Plato as a cross-order (\u003ci\u003eparadigmatic\u003c\/i\u003e) modelling method; its prototype development by Ramon Llull as a heuristic \u003ci\u003ears combinatoria\u003c\/i\u003e; its “modern” use by Gottfried Leibniz based on a calculus of concepts; and Fritz Zwicky’s 20th-century promotion of the “morphological approach”. Examples of contemporary computer-aided combinatorial modelling are presented in the areas of operational research, policy analysis, scenario development and design theory.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":54463762825489,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54463763218705,"sku":"NLS9789004756977","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789004756977.jpg?v=1787782031"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-tom-ritchey.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
