FreeRadiantBunny Agent Classes List
The Free Radiant Bunny software exists to help aid people who are growing food with a permaculture design method. To achieve this we design. At the core of our design is a set of classes which model the abstract problem domain. You heard right!
There is a set of classes, call them "agent classes" and let each of these classes be accessed by the user, thus representing a kind of view upon the data of the database. More importantly perhaps, each of these classes is represented by a database table. Enter multiple perspectives.
At one level, the whole purpose of the classes (and its implied API) is to ask the database management system to CRUD upon the database.
So, this is our first truism, that each Agent Classes should have a corresponding database table. This design guideline is a way of specifying some code for the database, creating a concept that says an Agent Class is associated with a php file, and the names only differ by the capitalization of the letters. The matching is important because a given class file is an API to its corresponding database table.
That certain traits are common upon all Agent Classes means that there is a class library of parent classes that each Agent Classes inherits to different degrees. A very plain starter class from the library is the scrubber class, allowing some basic functions for the agent such as accessing the database and filtering input. The scrubber class is an empirical conduit of data moving inward and outward.
In addition, the text description of each class is stored with its own file on the file system. This creates a link between database table and software class and computer file. In this way each agent class has 3 aspects, each with its own context inside out networked computers.
List of FreeRadiantBunny Agent Classes
The agent classes are listed in the table below. As of database schema 1.6, there are 111 tables in the database. Speaking SQL then one might say: select count(*) from information_schema.tables where table_schema = 'public';
The list below also serves as a menu to the agent class documentation. Click on the name (or id) and you will go to the documentation for that given agent class.
This is a list of the Agent Classes.
Here is a simple list of the table_name for the tables associated with the version 1.6 Agent Classes of FreeRadiantBunny:

From here, there are two ways in which you could go: larger scope or smaller scope.
Larger Scope: Check out the Directories
To go larger scope, you could check out the over-all design of the files in the application, of which the agent class files (described on this page) are just a part. To understand that larger scope, check out the directories.
Said another way: this page described just one type of file in the application. To learn more about all of the files in the application, visit the directories.
Smaller Scope: Check out the Subsystems
To go smaller scope, you could check out the subsystems. Instead of viewing all of the Agent Classes, view a subset of the Agent Classes as selected by designer-assigned "subsystem" categorization.
This small scope was developed based upon the divide and conquere tactic. To aid the person learning the Agent Classes, the classes have been grouped. The agents have been categorized into subsystems based upon the natural qualities of the classes and how they work together. The subsystem categorizaing aims to aid the learning of the classes by making it easier to mentally manage a large list of agent classes. So, if you are aiming to learn the Agent Classes list, you could visit subsystems.
Or, if you wanted to jump that step, you could go directly to one of the subsystems. Check out the subsystems and dive right into learning about a particular subsystem. The most important tables in the database contain the projects and goal_statements data. Using the Motivation Model as a design theory, tables for business_plant_texts and processes round out the core data of an initiative. Then the processes are brought to action with the scene_elements table.To learn about these classes, visit the Motivational Model Subsystem.
