Model names

Current naming scheme

idea: A 3-letter subscript where the first letter describes the growth scheme used in the model, the second letter describes division, and the third letter describes the respiration + exudation scheme. Net growth/respiration is marked by an extra symbol in the subscript. This scheme generalizes better to the non-core models we may have in the appendix (m6 and m8 have net growth/respiration and also size-dependent respiration).

	position	meaning
growth	1	b(asic), s(ize-dependent)
division	2	m(onotonic), l(ight-dependent)
respiration	3	x (none), b(asic), s(ize-dependent)
	4	extra symbol "-" indicates net growth/respiration

working title	proposed name	note
m2	mbmx
m4	mbmb
m5	mbmb-
m12	msmb
m14	mslb
non-core
m1	mbfx	requires new letter, using f for free delta/division
m3	msmx
m6	msms-
m7	msms
m8	msls-
m9	msls
m10	mblb-
m11	msmb-
m13	mslb-

Older proposed naming schemes

"growth-division-respiration subscript" scheme

idea: A 3-letter subscript where the first letter describes the growth scheme used in the model, the second letter describes division, and the third letter describes the respiration + exudation scheme.

	position	meaning
growth	1	b(asic), s(ize-dependent)
division	2	m(onotonic), l(ight-dependent)
respiration	3	x (none), b(asic), n(et growth/respiration)

working title	proposed name
m2	mbmx
m4	mbmb
m5	mbmn
m12	msmb
m14	mslb

looks good to me... maybe just differentiate the two b's? For respiration the letters could be: x (none), g(ross), n(et growth/respiration)? So we'd have:

working title	proposed name	note
m2	mbmx
m4	mbmg
m5	mbmn
m12	msmg
m14	mslg
non-core
m1	mbfx	requires new letter, using f for free delta/division
m3	msmx
m6	msmr	requires new letter, using r for net and size-dependent
m7	msms	requires new letter, using s for size-dependent respiration
m8	mslr
m9	msls
m10	mbln
m11	msmn
m13	msln
