        As explained elsewhere, if s contains a state variable its "value" is not simply themselves. Likewise a. Their current values are retrieved by sending them to CV().  Also, note that \(U()\) at a state is always treated as a vector-valued function in DDP .  So CV(d) is a column vector.  As a state variable s is a scalar at \(\theta\).

 A state is unreachable if it cannot occur given initial conditions.  For example, a person cannot have 20 years of labour market experience at age 18. Including unreachable states in the state space wastes computation and storage but does not cause any errors.

    Indicator vectors make it possible to write any utility as a sum: \(U = \sum_k d_k u_k\). But as with the single action approach the interpretation is not obvious and \(U()\) will in no way resemble usual mathematical notation for an objective.

     In Modelbase aspects of parameters are stored separately, at least from the user's perspective. Parameters can be fixed or free, but other kinds of constraints and relationships between parameters are left to the user. A key difference with FiveO is that parameters are represented as objects derived from built-in parameter types. Parameters are created using a class that captures the constraints on the parameter and its relation to other parameters. For example, with one line of code a user can add a vector of parameters that are guaranteed to be Increasing during optimization: x1 >x2 > ยทยทยท > xM. -
