which-clauses

In Chapter 1, we discussed the three major process of human modeling--Generalizaton, Deletion, and Distortion- three ways in which the model which we create will differ fromthe thing which it models.

Hi, would anyone make the which clauses into simple sentences? I feel very dizzy to read three which-clauses in such a complex sentence.

What does "it" in red refer to?

Is this sentence easy for native speakers to understand?

Thank you!

@iclearwater,
All thise referral "whiches" can be removed.

If you discussed this in the past, then the description of what you talked about will also be in the past.

No need to use the word "model" as a verb and as a noun.

- three ways the model we created will differ from the thing it emulated.

@PUNKEY,
Thank you for your reply. That is not my writing. It is excerpted from a book. I am not a native speaker of English, I am confused by the sentences. Could you possbily make that sentence in simple sentence rather than in clauses.
