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 causal loop form for a balancing loop.

How easy it is to crate a relationship map, or model as it is more often referred to because the term is much shorter.

Understanding relationships is the foundation of effective problem solving. Though relations exists on multiple levels.

Being fascinated with systemigrams I wondered if I could create them in Insight Maker.

The delays associated with adjusting the shower is a very common example of the Balancing Loop with Delay Systems Archetype.

Leverage Point Modeling (LPM) is a demonstrated approach for improved planning and spending for Operations and Support (O&S) activities. LPM is a continuous-event simulation technique that uses the System Dynamics approach of model building. Dr. Nathaniel Mass championed the potential of LPM, and adapted it for the Department of Defense (DoD) as a tool for jumping to a higher performance curve as a means of offsetting higher costs and declining budgets. The purpose of LPM is to test policies and investments that improve mission capability for a given level of investment or funding. It is particularly used to evaluate investments in component reliability and parts availability. Ref: http://bit.ly/aT44kB

There are about fifteen known archetypes with an interesting set of relationships among them.

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.
