Hi Bernadette,

You'd still be limited to paper but have a look at Bhaskar's Social Cube as a means of getting a 3D take on interplay

See: A Realist Theory of Science (p128-9) and Dialectic (p 160).

Best wishes, and good luck with your PhD.

Subject: three dimentional modelling for CMO in RE

Writing up my case studies( for a PhD thesis that is trialling RE to evaluate the socio spatial outcomes of two interventions in two public housing estates) I wondered … It is just me  

I am finding presenting the findings difficult  because I  feel that expressing the three dimension analysis of C-M-O is limited when using a one dimensional medium (paper). The RE approach lend its self to interactive three dimensional models which can allow the reader to simultaneously capture the interaction between context, mechanism and outcome.  Are there examples of this.

I am interested in what others think
