Future models in respiratory physiology require programs that can explain findings and synthesize information. This evolution will enable better tools for physiology, medical diagnosis, and scholarly reviews.

Area of Science:

Computational Biology
Physiology
Artificial Intelligence

Background:

Computerized mathematical models are increasingly used in respiratory physiology.
Current models show advanced subject control but lack mechanization for explanatory potential.
There is a growing interest in the expository function of models within the scientific community.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline the future evolution of the expository function of computerized mathematical models.
To explore the mechanization of the purposes and philosophical potential of automata in physiological modeling.
To identify the next major evolutionary step in machine-based "explanation" for scientific models.

Main Methods:

Analysis of current trends in respiratory physiology models.

Conceptualization of program-making programs for deductive inference and explanation.

Investigation of formalizing rules for traversing between model planes and understanding "second order" effects.

Main Results:

The evolution of models necessitates program-making programs capable of aggregation for inference and top-down explanation.
Establishing rules for identifying "second order" effects is crucial for model traversal.
Models must develop the capacity to ignore, "forget," and gloss over information to become useful tools.

Conclusions:

The next evolutionary step for models is the pursuit of machine-based "explanation."
Future models will require sophisticated programs to manage information synthesis and deductive reasoning.
Enhanced models will provide better tools for informed action in physiology, medical diagnosis, and scientific review writing.
