There exists a well defined set of possible ways to alter an existing set of interactions. Each of these alterations will produce a particular effect depending on the relations the change is relative to. Identifying which are possible and which will migrate the interactions to produce the desired situation is the essence of the strategy.

Il modello simula lo svuotamento di una vasca di acqua con un tasso di deflusso pari ad una percentuale del contenuto (es. 0.01 = 10% di 1000 L = 10 L/ora).

In this activity, the body reaction in the intake of food will be simulated: Food amount; type of food; when the intake of food took place; how fast the digestion occurs; reaction time of the pancreas; the connection between the blood glucose concentration and the insulin production.

The content will also cover the subject between the coordinated and harmonious functioning of the pancreas (which secretes insulin), the liver, and the body's cells (insulin receivers). The Homeostasis: Process that regulates the blood concentration. Together we’ll discover the cause-effects cycles that characterize the problem and how they become an important part of the solution.

This article will span the effect of pancreas’ insulin production in diabetes type I, as well as the cells’ glucose uptake and their rejection to insulin, all this with the intention of visualizing how it breaks into the cause-effect cycles that regulates the blood glucose concentration in the body, triggering the imbalance in health.

Stock: A backlog of pending tasks of features and improvements to be implemented in the software

Input Flow: New feature and improvement requests (coming from users, development team, etc.)

Output Flow: Implementation of features and improvements (developed by the development team)

Delay: The time it takes for the development team to analyze, design, develop, test, and implement the features and improvements in the software.

In this example, it's necessary to maintain a backlog of tasks that can satisfy development demands during the time it takes to analyze, design, develop, test, and implement the features and improvements. This backlog acts as a buffer in case there are delays in the arrival of new feature and improvement requests or in the availability of the development team's resources.

The development team needs to maintain a healthy balance in the backlog to ensure that there's always work available and, at the same time, prevent the backlog from growing to a point where it becomes difficult to manage. To achieve this balance, the team may need to adjust the rate at which it accepts new requests or allocates resources to work on pending tasks.
