If I could understand the logic in how '+' and '-' arrows work in this diagram, I would be thrilled! This would solve a lot of confusion I experience with many other diagrams. If I understand it here, I can understand it there.

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.
