That is the issue, the nouns are the structures but there are no verbs so
they are static.

I think this is one of the archetypes main problem, there is no structure.
What is interesting is that the variables that are created only have a
logic that is useful to maximum five year span.

This is the part that most concerns me about ST, is that there is really
no underlying structure that I can identify at all. Structure and process
are closely aligned e.g. (XYZ) with input x becoming z by transformation
at Y with structure (XYZ) tube-pump-tube. That is the content fits inside
the form. This is in my opinion is the most critical issue in complexity
and systems thinking which systems thinking ignores.
