I got the en-&-de-coding arrows switched. It oughta be like so:
| 4
| <--------
| /\ / \ /\
| 1 ^ N F ^ 3
| \/ \ / \/
| -------->
| 2
|
| Figure 1. Rosen's Theory of Modeling
|
| N stands for a natural system, and F for a formal system.
| The numbers indicate the following:
|
| 1 = causal entailment, which I presume is synonymous with causality,
| 2 = encoding,
| 3 = inference or inferential entailment,
| 4 = decoding.
