MMA is a support network to help those unfortunate people who are seriously addicted to meta-modelling. You should contact us if you or someone you know suffers from any of the following symptoms. We are here to help.

• Withdrawal symptoms (repetitive constraint writing tendencies) when unable to meta-model.
• Hiding meta-models around the house or workplace.
• Pretending that the document you’re reading is not a meta-model, e.g. disguising it as a model.
• Constantly philosophising about your life as an object, or reflecting on the 4-layer meta-model.
• Worrying about where your next meta-model is going to come from.
• Worrying about the spelling of ‘modeller’ versus ‘modeler’ and ‘meta-model’ versus ‘metamodel’.
• Putting off important tasks just to meta-model.
• Writing philosophical stories about levels of reality and the meaning of the universe.
• Forgetting whether you’re at level 0 or level 3. And what is level 0 anyway?

Remember that it is easier to deny, than to accept that you are a meta-modeller. Reflect on it.
