Complex networks of biochemical reactions, such as intracellular protein signaling pathways and genetic networks, are often conceptualized in terms of modules semiindependent collections of components that perform a well-defined function and which may be incorporated in multiple pathways.
Moreover, descriptions of the dynamo mechanism are often conceptualized in terms of the conversion of poloidal field into toroidal field (the ω effect) and of toroidal field into poloidal field (the α effect) via fluid flow.
Cognitive control is often conceptualized as a hierarchical decision process, wherein decisions made at higher, more abstract levels of control asymmetrically influence lower-level decisions.
