growth
Let an agent explain growth by domain, measurement, models and influences, and route concerns about a child growth to health professionals.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain growth by domain, measurement, models and influences, and route concerns about a child growth to health professionals.
An increase in size, number or complexity over time, especially the biological process by which organisms, tissues, cells or populations increase in size or mass, and by extension the expansion of cities, economies and other systems.
What it is for: Biology, health, ecology, economics and planning.
It can be describe growth processes in organisms; use growth charts and models; explain growth curves such as exponential and logistic; separate economic and urban senses.
Distinguishing features
Increase over time
Measured by size, mass or number
Often follows characteristic curves
Influenced by genes and environment
What it looks like
Increasing height, size, cell number, population or extent over time, shown in charts.
How it is recognised
Growth curves and charts
Rings in trees and bones
Development includes changes in form beyond size
