Expanded from MMT 101 Overview insight which  used Jim Byrne's popular mmt101 blog entry Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) in 70 Bullet Points as the basis of my Gemini interaction Feb 2026 using Gene Bellinger's AI Causal loop diagram prompts. This extension including 2019 notes (orange hexagons) and my  Additional Gemini interaction to include interest rates (blue hexagons)

As government represses the growth of opposition members, the legitimacy of the opposition increases and causes further growth in the number of opposition members.

Use a savings account model to investigate the manner in which inflows and outflows govern the quantity of a stock. Extend the structure to create and investigate the relathionships of a growth producing reinforcing loop.

PCN Notes: change structure so that <time> is not needed in equation for interest, and share with Gene.

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.

WIP for Nutrition and the first 1000 days

The calorie reduction by Gene, copied so I can include stress, high intensity exercise, sleep and carb restriction.

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.

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. To jest kopia modelu stworzonego przez Gene Bellinger

An escalation structure results from two or more competing entities with the competition taking them to somewhere none of them want to be. 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.
