language system

Hi,
What's the best way to represent the Indo-European language family, or any branch or sub-branch of IE, as a scientific system, with the 5 key components of Inputs, Flows or throughputs, Stores or storage areas and Outputs? Or is this even possible and can a model of this be made at all?

-Michael
