The three common recurring structures.

This model works in units of genes per year. It is assumed that Transcription, Repair and the Food Queue are all in Gene units in spite of their having different functions. The Repair process repairs Genes per year. The Transcription process transcribes Genes per year and the Exogenous Food source adds Food in Genes needed to process it per year. Transcription proportion is in Genes (10 of them split between transcription and repair). Other variables like Damage and CpG are dimensionless. 

A basic production model showing negative and positive loops, often called a balancing model.

The limits to growth structure is based on the basic growth structure. And, as should be obvious, nothing grows forever as growth requires resources. Those required resources become a limits to growth.

Level of biological organization linking cell level division and population level evolution

GSD simulation

Causal loop diagram illustrating how evolution, in the form of small incremental change (realized through random genetic mutation) paired with natural selection, serves to evolve species.

Gene Bellinger's CST course requires several causation models to be developed. This is my first sheet of such models.

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.
