Success to the successful archetype represents two reinforcing structures which may be in a delicate balance though as soon as one gains a small advantage the resource allocation favors the more successful and the result is then rapidly skewed in the direction of the more successful. See also Archetypes.

A Tragedy of the Commons situation exists whenever two or more activities, each, which in order to produce results, rely on a shared limited resource. Results for these activities continue to develop as long as their use of the limited resource doesn't exceed the resource limit. Once this limit is reached the results produced by each activity are limited to the level at which the resource is replenished. See also Archetypes.

​This working Simulation outlines the current impact the Koala population is undergoing to certain disease, enironmental impacts and human redevelopment and involvement, and then the actions which will need to be taken if the current trend is to improve. 

In the study we used a control group of 1000 individuals with a better then average birth to death ratio so the population with no outside influences or negative impacts would gradually grow. Then we introduced the current major dangers to the Koala with the current statistic trend of a 10% decline in population every year over a 20 year period. With this we then introduced measures and plans to reverse this trend and put the Koala population back on track. Of course figures are only speculative however there is a marked improvement over the 20 year period for the small koala population.

A shifting the burden structure occurs when there are different ways to address a situation. With one approach being easier, faster, and requiring fewer resources, which do you think gets pursued? The problem is that taking the easier path ensures one will have to take the easier path repeatedly, and makes it harder to pursue the long-term better solution. See also Archetypes.
