Based on Toward a General Theory of Societal Collapse which references Tainter's Model.

Once I get the formulas and get this working unfold the story and exercise the 2 stock model and then surface the other two stocks and exercise the mode then. 

Add variables so I can use sliders to control the multipliers in the flows and the initial values of the stocks.

OK, we have a problem. Yet, do we really know what the problem is? More often than not we look at the symptoms, consider them the problem and attempt to fix them. This actually dooms us to failure because they're only symptoms.   Video    SystemsWiki's Musings

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.
