Scientific Research
Fundamental research is based on the development of theories and models. Martine Delfos developed many models and theories. Various research groups are active within PICOWO to further develop these models and theories.​

Theories and models by Martine Delfos
There are in fact two main activities in science: developing theories and models and researching theories and models. There are always more researchers of theories and models than there are creators of them. It is a process of induction and deduction. A theory or a model requires a constant interaction of induction and deduction.
Martine Delfos is a theories and models creator. She already has a wide variety of theories and models to her name. The PICOWO series is meant to give these theories and models and concepts a place. Below theories and models plus new concepts from Martine Delfos are listed and where they can possibly be found.
