Diagrams to identify the parts, operations, and organization of a mechanism A major use of diagrams in mechanistic science is to present a proposed mechanism by diagram by mentally simulating the different operations and their consequences mechanism that explained behavioral circadian oscillations. molecular mechanism for circadian oscillations in terms of a negative feedback loop. A second major way in which such a diagram can serve reasoning about a mechanism is by In using this diagram to reason about the mechanism, researchers follow the action of mechanism encoded in a diagram to see if they are adequate to explain the phenomenon. ./cache/work_we6sjdaubzfrjkkgsd2eagwkpu.pdf ./txt/work_we6sjdaubzfrjkkgsd2eagwkpu.txt
