Welcome to QQRONA

QQRONA* offers an innovative approach to modelling organic and natural behaviours through analysis and design methodology, along with a suite of software tools to put the concept into action.

At its heart is one simple idea - that behaviours are organised in the same way as the rest of the material world, with complex behaviours arising from the aggregation and compounding of simpler behaviours, with their roots in the most fundamental, atomic behaviours which are found at the molecular level in the physical world.

The concept

Behaviour is what we call the continual rearrangement of physical material over time. Most current methods of analysing and modelling behaviours start with the physical arrangement, and then seek to force its rearrangement using explicit time based operations. QQRONA is unique in that it is built up using individual cells ("qcells") each of which changes, constantly, implicitly, according to its parameters;

QQRONA models are hence inherently dynamic, giving them a power to analyse and model behaviours of any complexity.

The software

The QQRONA software is built around "qcells" which model the atomic behaviours, and can be pieced together like building blocks to generate complex behaviours. The tools support the design, testing and running of QQRONA models. These models are entirely parameter driven, and the software suite provides a means of defining and fine tuning those parameters to meet the desired behaviour.
