The typical problem solving cycle.

Because everything is connected you can't do just one thing. And while everything is connected everything isn't relevant.

A simple Susceptible - Infected - Recovered disease as a stock and flow model.

Some people have found it easier to communicate interactions and their implications with Connection Circles rather than Causal Loop Diagrams.

Bill Braun's version from the HPSIG wiki.

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.

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.

Success to the successful archetype represents two reinforcing structures which may be in a delicate balance though as soon as one gains a small advantage the resource allocation favors the more successful and the result is then rapidly skewed in the direction of the more successful. See also Archetypes.

Once the strategy is developed the relationship model must evolve to represent that implementation appropriately sequenced.

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).

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.

There's actually more to filling a swimming pool with water than you might realize.

This model is an element of the effective problem solving program.

These are case studies which have been undertaken via the virtual systemic inquiry process.

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

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

Example of a Bathtub overflow without using an If-Then-Else statement.

Simple savings account.

Example of using Pulse function to create a recurring delay.

This is a template which one might use as a basis for creating Insight Maker Relationship models. Links have 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.
