CONCEPT DOMAIN - Resource System Operating Framework (R-SOF)

DescriptionPattern Domain
The  Resource System Operating Framework (R-SOF) domain is a conceptualization level that comprises abstract entities that belong to the physical space and comprise Human resources,  Software resources, Hardware resources and natural resources.
Unlike Conceptual entities (which are independent of physical implementation), Resource entities represent tangible or operational abstractions.
 Resource entities constrast with  Conceptual entities, which abstract from any physical implementation.
This level is sometimes referred to as the "Organic Level" because it deals with functional, real-world elements. For example:
. "Vision" is a Conceptual entity, abstract in nature.
. "Eye" is a Resource entity, representing its physical realization (e.g., human eyes, batrachian eyes, etc.). However, "Eye" remains an abstract resource since it encompasses multiple concrete implementations.
The Resource conceptualization level models how a Resource Agent operates/functions within its Resource Operating Ecosystem to produce Resource Outcome Events.
