We present a generic mathematical model for describing processes
evolving in time. The method we propose is a of a process described on a set of process
obtained by a description of each indicator
by a set of
allowing the definition and study of the
microstructure of the process. We define a process as a set of
indicators with a relation. There is the set of aspects with a
(deformed) relation and a valuation function, which can be used to
reconstruct the indicator relation from the aspect relation. The
valuation function in the structure provides the measurable property.
It can be based on questionnaires in more social processes or an
accurate scientific measurement in concrete physical processes or
technological processes.
