A missing concept? A short postulation about the need for human understanding and an often only implicitly given, fundamental aspect of modeling efforts

Abstract:

In almost all fundamental modeling or description approaches, especially those meant for the domain of (business) process, there is one description aspect often missing that is core to human understanding of the world: the aspect of active entity or the concept of the subject and its strict differentiation from passive entities (objects). This work postulates that this simple idea is of great importance when approaching any description/modeling, be it made by humans as input/instruction for information systems or AI engines, or be it generated by such a system to explain its inner workings to humans to enable better understanding and therefore acceptance. Therefore, it is proposed that any formal or informal modeling approach should consider these aspects in order to better facilitate human understanding of models and avoid humans working around the lack of expressiveness or try to erroneous interpret non-given information.
