their maximum output would be reduced to zero. Therefore should be modeled as depending directly on time-dependent energy input .

This model has also been shown to predict a 28% decrease in output for a 99% decrease in energy, which further supports the revision of this model's assumptions. Note that, while inappropriate for energy, an "independent" modelling approach may be appropriate for modelling other natural resources such as land.
