Part 2 demonstrates labeling of links as well as putting elements of the model in a folder. A number of previously developed models are also presented to provide an idea of what's possible.
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 Growth and Underinvestment structure is simply an elaborated Limits to Growth structure where the growth inhibitor is part of another Balancing Loop with an external standard and some delay. The real nasty thing about this structure is that the two Balancing Loops form a single Reinforcing Loop which inhibits growth.
It's relatively well understood that you can't be all things to all people. Somewhere one has to make choices. An Attractiveness Principle Systems Archetype is essentially a Limits to Growth Systems Archetype with multiple limits, all of which can not be addressed equally. See also Archetypes.
Creating a Pulse function that has a size and duration based on an outbreak. The assumption is that there can't be an outbreak if there is an outbreak.
This model represents an elaboration of the Savings Account model to investigate the implications associated with intending to save money for retirement so an amount may be withdrawn monthly for living expenses.
Thoughts on why storytelling is critical for enabling others to understand relationship models once they're developed. This was done for the Learning Community Group at ODU Mar 2019.
Part 2 demonstrates labeling of links as well as putting elements of the model in a folder. A number of previously developed models are also presented to provide an idea of what's possible.
The simple savings account is used to demonstrate the nature of a reinforcing loop. Change the initial amount and interest rate and run the model to see the implications of changing these values.
Use a bathtub model to investigate the manner in which inflows and outflows govern the quantity of a stock. Extend the structure to create and investigate the relationships of a goal seeking balancing loop.
The Exponential Growth Archetype is a reinforcing structure which promotes exponential growth. This is one of the two foundation archetypes. The other being the goal seeking structure. See also Archetypes.
Enabling a Better Tomorrow is a systemic approach for developing a systemic strategy which may be employed to intervene in a current situation to effect the desired results while minimizing the likelihood of creating new problems in the process.
This is a definition of the Systems Thinking Interactive Learning Environment (STILE) development process which was used to create Beyond Connecting the Dots (BCtD).
