There are a number of types of components in Minsky
- Mathematical operators such as plus (+), minus (-)
- Constants (or parameters, which are named constants) which are
given a value by the user
- Variables whose values are calculated by the program during a simulation and depend on the values of constants and other variables; and
- Godley Tables, which define both financial accounts and the
flows between them. In the language of stock and flow modelling, the
columns of a Godley table are the stocks, which are computed by
integrating over a linear combination of flow variables.
- Integrals -- represent a variable computed by integrating a
function forward in time.
- Groups, which allow components to be grouped into modules that
can be used to construct more complex models.
