What do activities of these images have in common?

We often set out to solve a problem or accomplish some particular result and things seem to go as planned. As time progresses it seems that progress becomes more and more difficult, if not impossible, and things may actually become worse than when we started. When this happens it is typically a Fixes that Fail structure that's operating. See also Archetypes.

Part 1 demonstrates Picture primitives and Links to create representations of interactions. These are made visually attractive because the Picture primitives are overlay'd with images.

While these pictures represent very different things there is a common essence.

This is a conceptual presentation for what Chapter 5 might become as archetypes evolution.

This is my first attempt at creating a simple Agent Based Simulation Model. Nothing fancy, just something that works.

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

Population Growth in an Agrarian Society with the addition of agriculture.

An Addiction structure is the same as the Shifting the Burden structure though with the annoying aspect that one becomes addicted to the side effect ensuring that Fundamental Solution won't get implemented and the Symptomatic Solution will be applied repeatedly, and likely with greater frequency. See also Archetypes.

There are numerous influences which work against the possibility of sustainable capitalism though there are a few that might be put in place to actually support its emergence.

Our actions are based on our beliefs and the results of those actions are the basis for our beliefs. The difficulty we create for ourselves is that we make assumptions as to how to interpret the results we select based on our beliefs. As a result we are often operating on a flawed perspective of reality.

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.

All the following have a common characteristic.

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).

When we address situations we tend to do so with myopic limited awareness of the real nature of the situation and our actions tend to produce unintended consequences which make the situation worse or create other problems that have to be dealt with by us or others.
