# pyworld2

Pyworld2 is a Python implementation of the World2 model, designed by Jay W. Forrester to predict trajectories of growth-focused Humankind in a world bounded by its physical limits. The model structure is thouroughly described in the book *World Dynamics*. Although World3 later became the reference, World2 is much less complex than its successor: it helps to get a good understanding of how the world could be modeled by a System Dynamics approach. World2 is a nonlinear 5-th order differential equation model with the following state variables:
