A particular mental model, which has multiple components.

As a basis for his Global Design and Interpretive Structural Modeling methodologies J. WARFIELD describes these components: “Among the components… may be a model that defines the boundaries and dimensions of a situation (a \term”{context“ model}), a model representing the organized information about that situation (the \term”{content“ model}) and a model representing a proposed way of changing that situation (a \term”{process“ model}) These components may be implicit or explicit, but they are loosely integrated into a framework” (1989, p.27).
