A new dynamic modeling methodology, SLIN, allows for the analysis of systems defined by linguistic variables. SLIN applies a set of logical rules which include base, tactical, strategic and structural change. To make the transition from qualitative to quantitative modes, logical rules are also used. SLIN is advanta geously implemented in a very high-level language such as PRO LOG. A simple ecological modeling problem illustrates SLIN's potential applications.
