The use of this architectureto develop accuratemodel boundariesis described,basedon considerationof interactionswithin such ideal models. A novel algorithm for refining models is also proposed. This algorithm considersbehavioural differencesbetweenmodels and appliesthe correctionsthat causethe greatestdifferencesin behaviour. Finally, somemodelsgeneratedby this methodareshownto be parsimonious.
