  4. Information Inputs • Labor • Transformity: level of education compared to US citizen if immigrant • Energy: pers-hrs x calories • Experts • Transformity: level of education • Energy: pers-hrs x calories

  5. Other Kinds of Information • Policy • Show as appropriate interaction • Usually tracked as $$ (disaster payments, agricultural subsidies, etc.) • Aesthetics • Use tank in diagram • Show components expected to influence • Not an actual table entry at this point in time
