Here is a sample of public Insights made by Insight Maker users. This list is auto-generated and updated daily.
Based on Psychological Medicine Dec 2015 articleDepression as a systemic syndrome: mapping the feedback loops of major depressive disorder by A. K. Wittenborn, H. Rahmandad, J. Rick and N. Hosseinichimeh, mentioned here. See also 2018 N. Hosseinichimeh Plos ONE article for rumination focussed SD simulation
If private bond holdings are going down and the government is running a big deficit then the central bank has to monetize bonds equal to the deficit plus the decrease in private bond holdings. We don't show the details of the central bank buying bonds here, just the net results.

This Insight is a model of Daisyworld created by James Lovelock in 1982 to demonstrate the central idea behind the Gaia hypotheses that life and the environment may be considered two parts of a coupled system.
This simulation allows you to compare different approaches to influence flow, the Flow Times and the throughput of a work process.
By adjusting the sliders below you can
observe the work process without any work in process limitations (WIP Limits),
with process step specific WIP Limits* (work state WIP limits),
or you may want to see the impact of the Tameflow approach with Kanban Token and Replenishment Token
or see the impact of the Drum-Buffer-Rope** method.
* Well know in (agile) Kanban
** Known in the physical world of factory production
The "Tameflow approach" using Kanban Token and Replenishment Token as well as the Drum-Buffer-Rope method take oth the Constraint (the weakest link of the work process) into consideration when pulling in new work items into the delivery "system".
You can also simulate the effects of PUSH instead of PULL.
Feel free to play around and recognize the different effects of work scheduling methods.

The work flow itself
Look at the simulation as if you would look on a kanban board.
The simulation mimics a "typical" software delivery process.
From left to right you find the following ten process steps.

The goal seeking structure endeavors to bring a balance between a current state and a desired state. This is one of the two foundation archetypes. The other being the growth structure. See also Archetypes.
