C.6 What is special about FMC?

FMC focuses on human comprehension of informational systems. The key is the strict separation a very few fundamental concepts which can always be distinguished when communicating about informational system. Generally one should distinguish:

• Didactic system models serving the communication among humans versus analytical models serving the methodologically derivation of consequences
• System structure versus structure of system description (e.g. program structure)
• Purpose versus implementation

Essential about FMC is to distinguish:

• Compositional, dynamic and value range structure
• Active and passive components
• Control state and operational state

FMC provides the concepts to create and visualize didactic models. This enables people to share a common understanding of system structure and its purpose. Therefore FMC helps to reduce costs and risks in the handling of complex systems.
