Designing a Model

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

Which organism’s behavior are you modeling?
 

Why did you choose the blocks/sequence of blocks the way you did?

What cues do organisms have that you aren't able to code for? How would you represent that if you could add additional blocks?
 

What are the risk levels for the different behaviors? Why do you think some organisms have evolved to have higher/lower risk tolerance? 
 

Besides replicating a known behavior, how might you use this model to learn something new? What would you want to predict about the organism? Population? Ecosystem interactions?
