This currently links to Gene's more generic Enabling a Better Tomorrow This will be the entry point for the Shaping Our Healthier Futures thread. If you haven't previously reviewed the Adventures in Wonderland concept please do so as wandering in this environment is likely to make a lot more sense afterwards.

This is the companion model for the paper written by Gene & Scott for the 2011 System Dynamics Conference.

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.

To develop insights regarding a situation of interest there are a number of things should be considered to ensure a view of the relevant influences.

Original Insight (#1366) by Gene Bellinger

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 is a stock-flow consistent model, namely the simplest (SIM) model with government money.

(I had to change the equation for consumption demand. Disposable income and wealth now enterwith a time lag of one period. Otherwise the model would be recursive and would not be solvable in Insight Maker. Thanks to Gene for support.)
