Need a philosophical or theoretical framework on how to measure anything or concerned about how to create a model. The Pantometric Paradigm is a simple method to produce a purely visual and quantitative model of anything within the material world. You can use it to create an initial model that can evolve to meet your needs. The simple process is:

1. Reduce what you are trying to model to the minimum required by its definition. Strip away all extraneous information.
2. Visualize it on a piece of paper or in your head.
3. Divide it in fact or in your imagination into equal parts.
4. Then measure it (e.g., count the parts).

Now you have a quantitative representation (model) of your subject which matches your definition. You can now manipulate it, reason about it, experiment with it, and evolve it.
