everything else.

This the core model, which you need to understand to work on the software.
Sorry about that, but it’s as simple as possible - but no simpler.
Slide 4
Slide 4 text
In NRP, you are an Economic Agent.
Slide 5
Slide 5 text
You may be connected to other Agents by means of Agent Associations.
Slide 6
Slide 6 text
You are connected to all of the Economic Events you have participated in.
They may be many types of Events: Work, Production, Consumption, etc.
Slide 7
Slide 7 text
Economic Events change Economic Resources.
They may create, consume, use, cite, provide, or transfer Resources.
Slide 8
Slide 8 text
You may own or have custody or have some other responsibility
for Economic Resources
Slide 9
Slide 9 text
Economic Events may be connected to Processes.
They may be inputs to, or outputs from, Processes.
Slide 10
Slide 10 text
If the same Resource is an output from one Process and then an input to
another Process, then those Processes are connected by a resource flow.
Slide 11
Slide 11 text
Economic Events may also Transfer Resources from one Agent to another
by means of Exchanges.
Slide 12
Slide 12 text
If the same Resource is transferred in an Exchange and then becomes an
input to a Process, then the Exchange and the Process are connected.
Slide 13
Slide 13 text
Likewise if the same Resource is an output from a Process
and then transferred in an Exchange.
Slide 14
Slide 14 text
And likewise if the same Resource is transferred in one Exchange and then
transferred again in another.
Slide 15
Slide 15 text
Processes and Exchanges may be planned
by means of Commitments.
Slide 16
Slide 16 text
Commitments are plans for Economic Events
that have not happened yet.
Slide 17
Slide 17 text
Commitments may be parts of Orders:
“Customer/Purchase” Orders (planned trades) are groups of Exchange Commitments.
Slide 18
Slide 18 text
“Work Orders” (planned production) are groups of Process Commitments.
Slide 19
Slide 19 text
Everything has a Type.
Slide 20
Slide 20 text
Types are for configuring the system, setting policies,
and modeling repeatable Process/Exchange flows.
Slide 21
Slide 21 text
Repeatable Process/Exchange flows
are called Recipes.
