Diffusion operates along well-defined physical principles first described in 1855 by Adolf Fick and now widely known as Fick s Laws of Diffusion. Philbert5 provides a detailed explanation of the laws and a historical account of Fick. While they were designed to describe the behavior of gas molecules under ideal theoretical conditions, Fick s Laws serve reasonably well to describe a wide variety of real diffusion events. Fick wrote the laws as a set of equations in the language of calculus but these can be rephrased in plain English.

Explicitly, I look at how people interact around iterations of representations—or, in plain English, how people behave around versions of models. That behavior is the essence of innovation. This begs a simple proposition when we transform the economics of modeling, prototyping, and simulation, we inherently transform the economics of innovation. Make modeling faster, cheaper, and easier and we surely change the economics of innovation. We incent different iterative and innovative behaviors. 

Zyklon B was scarce and expensive, and was needed everywhere to combat epidemics such as typhus, including in the army and German-allied armed forces, so that any avoidable squandering of it for other purposes would have been avoided—even, and especially, at Auschwitz, where typhus threatened not only the lives of the inmates, but also the guards and civilians entering the camp or who lived in the vicinity. In plain English, this means that the typhus epidemic in Auschwitz concentration camp threatened the extremely important production of the war industries located in...

What all these technical details mean for us can be briefly stated in plain English We know enough about the detailed development of the human brain to expect it to be highly vulnerable to impacts on the fetal environment.
