This is the sample model used as a demo for enfolding and unfolding a model. This is what we had to do before the Storytelling feature was developed. Save this one for posterity!
We begin with a Bank with $0 and Borrowers with $100. Every year the Bank loans the Borrowers money at some interest rate. If the Bank loans $50 at 10% interest in 20 years the bank will have all the money and the Borrowers will be broke.
Admittedly this model was designed to take the interaction to the extreme to demonstrate the extended implication of the interaction.
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.
The limits to results structure endeavors to bring a balance between a current state and a desired state though more often than not the action is limited by some constraint. See also Archetypes.
This is a template which one might use as a basis for creating Insight Maker Relationship Models. Links have a default style of the blue ones in the diagram. The easiest way to get the red dashed links is to CTRL+d to duplicate them and then connect where appropriate.
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.
A spatially aware, agent based model of disease spread. There are three classes of people: susceptible (healthy), infected (sick and infectious), and recovered (healthy and temporarily immune).
