System Zoo Z415 Resource extraction and recycling from Hartmut Bossel (2007) System Zoo 2 Simulation Models. Climate, Ecosystems, Resources​

 Smaller initial stock, bigger demand, and lower depletion of a nonrenewable resource.
For some important resources the almost nent within the next few decades. Estimates not be based on current consumption rate must account for the probable increase of tion of' "dynamic life time", which can be share will accelerate the
exhaustion of stocks is immi- "life time" of resources must a "static" life time index) but rate. This leads to the calcula-shorter than the static life time. Calculation of static and dynamic life time can at best serve to determine the bounds of actual life time of a resource. As a resource becomes scarce, its consump- tion must approach zero thus lengthening the calculated life time. The relative amount of remaining resources, i.e. scarcity, will therefore determine the development of the consumption rate. If material is recycled, it is important to know how quickly a product is scrapped and material is returned to the production process. A model de-scribing the dynamics of nonrenewable resource use must account for these processes.

REM 221 - Z412 Tourism Dynamics
Insight diagram
Based on the Market and Price simulation model in System Zoo 3, Z504. In this model the profit calculations were not realistic. They were based on the per unit profit, which does not take items not sold into account. Also the model was not very clear on profit since it was included in the total production costs and consequently in the unit costs and subsequently profit was calculated by subtracting unit costs of the market price. Thus profit had a double layer which does not make the model better accessible. I have tried to remedy both in this simplified version.

Based on the Market and Price simulation model in System Zoo 3, Z504. I made some more intrusive changes that make the model more realistic, or more 'economic', in another version 'simplified and improved'.

This models the progressive decline of the ability for self-reliance and the growing dependence on outside help. ​Z508 p39-42 System Zoo 3 by Hartmut Bossel. Strong outside help causes a collapse of self-help capacity. Weak outside help produces a stable combination of wellbeing and self-help capacity.

System Zoo Z404 Prey and two Predator Populations from Hartmut Bossel (2007) System Zoo 2 Simulation Models. Climate, Ecosystems, Resources

Often a single prey population is the source of food for several  competing predators (e.g. mice as prey of foxes and birds of prey)​. Here again a reliable intuitive assessment of long-term development resulting from the particular system relationship is impossible. A simulation model can assist in recognizing development trends inherent in the system structure even if in reality a variety of other factors determine the development and may cause it to proceed on a somewhat different path.

This model does not include findings of additional resource reserves. In that respect it is static.

Thanks to

for this example of chaos, and the transition to chaos. "After running the default settings Bossel describes A=0.2, B=0.2, Initial Values X=0 Y=2 and Z=0 and varying C=2,3,4,5 shows period doubling and transition to chaotic behavior."

We're looking into environmental applications in our course, and how dramatically dynamics can change, based on a small change in parameters. Climate change "suffers" this chaotic behavior, we fear, and we're going to be "taken by surprise" when the dynamics changes on us suddenly....
