some_mod description

The model description contains a detailed enumeration of the members of the model in sub-lists of layers, connections, outputs (observers) and others. There is also a binary flag Stochastic? indicating if the same input produces different output on different occasions.

some_mod add obj...

The object(s) obj is added to model some_mod in an appropriate slot. In many cases, objects are added to the current default model on creation.

some_mod remove obj...

The object(s) obj are removed from the model some_mod.

some_mod list

Emit the object list as in description

some_mod step

Attempt to advance one layer in step one time index. Using this directly outside of a trial is not advisable.

some_mod analyze

Emit an analysis of the relationships among layers in the model. This includes a list of layers, each with a depth and breadth in the connection tree when feedback connections are ignored. feedforward connections identified are listed.

some_mod parameters

Return the dataframe object holding the parameters of the model.

some_mod define_input name in_rep in_layer

Indicate that some_mod accepts an input that meets the conventions of name (e.g., “orthographic” which is used by the trials for lexical decision, etc.) by clamping the layer in_layer as the input layer. The conventionally formatted input should be treated as having representation in_rep for the purposes of converting input to the representation of in_layer.

some_mod define_output name out_obs

Indicate that some_mod simulates the response behaviour indicated by the conventional name name (e.g. “lexicaldecision” for lexical decisions made in a variety of different trial types), and the response may be detected by polling the observer out_obs. addsetting

some_mod add_setting name value...

Add a setting to the model some_mod that is named name and is valued (and has as default) value. The type will be string (non-string settings should have their type changed afterwards); the comment will be the same as the name (this can also be changed later).

some_mod setting name value...

Change a setting of the model some_mod that is named name to be valued value.

some_mod add_script filename...

Add the script filename to the list of scripts that form the model.

some_mod stage number

Include yet-to-be-included-scripts up to script number number (0-indexed); all model settings are registered as $name=value macro variables during this process.

some_mod stage

Include all yet-to-be-included scripts, as above.

some_mod list_settings

Emit the settings in structured format.

some_mod change_setting_type setting type

Change the type listed for some_mod's setting setting to be type.

some_mod change_setting_group setting group

Change the grouping listed for some_mod's setting setting to be group.

some_mod change_setting_comment setting comment...

Change the comment listed for some_mod's setting setting to be comment.
