[1] The paradigm allows for building of rigorous conceptual frameworks employed for systems modeling in various application contexts (highly tailored as well as interdisciplinary).
As stated in the Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy:[2] "Paradigm, as used by Thomas Kuhn (The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, 1962), refers to a set of scientific and metaphysical beliefs that make up a theoretical framework within which scientific theories can be tested, evaluated and if necessary revised."
The triune continuum paradigm holds true to this definition by defining a set of scientific principles within which conceptual frameworks used for system modeling in different contexts can be built, tested, evaluated, and revised.
According to Herrera et al.,[4] the triune continuum paradigm is a complete theoretical base that can be used for building or for improving modern modeling frameworks that are employed for system modeling in different contexts, in particular in software development and in the engineering of enterprise information systems.
[5] The theories, when applied to general system modeling, produce three principles:[3] The triune continuum paradigm can be applied in practice either to improve an existing system modeling framework or to design a new system modeling framework for a given purpose.
