Hi Krassimir,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for asking this important question.  I’m curious to see how others might answer it.  For me, the “mental model” is a centralized system for information processing that receives inputs from multiple sensory mechanisms and can induce action
 as a consequence.  In biology, this can be a centralized nervous system and whole organism behavior as the form of an output.  We illustrate this process as we read and write FIS posts.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are you looking for more detail about the “mental model”, or is this the sort of thing you have in mind?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div><br>
