The flowchart consists of four textboxes arranged in a square formation with directional arrows connecting them to indicate the progression. The top-center textbox is labeled “Q A in R L S Cs of D W.” The bottom center textbox is labeled “Macro-level uncertainties.” From “Macro-level uncertainties,” a leftward arrow makes a 90-degree turn to move vertically upward and leads to “Meso- and micro-level uncertainties of the demolisher,” positioned on the left side of the chart, between the top and bottom boxes. Similarly, from “Macro-level uncertainties,” a rightward arrow makes a 90-degree turn to move vertically upward and leads to “Meso- and micro-level uncertainties of the waste processor,” positioned on the right side of the chart, between the top and bottom boxes. A rightward arrow connects “Meso- and micro-level uncertainties of the demolisher,” to “Meso- and micro-level uncertainties of the waste processor.” From “Meso- and micro-level uncertainties of the demolisher,” an upward arrow makes a 90-degree turn towards the right to move horizontally and connect to “Q A in R L S Cs of D W.” From “Meso- and micro-level uncertainties of the waste processor,” an upward arrow makes a 90-degree turn towards left to move horizontally and connect to “Q A in R L S Cs of D W.” Below the flowchart, the legend shows an arrow indicating “Cause-and-effect flow of epistemic uncertainties.”Deductive reasoning underlying cause-and-effect relationships.
