Storytelling allows you to build a display sequence for an insight so it can be unfolded to tell the story of the model. You can sequence primitive visibility, messages and javascript actions to unfold the story of the model.

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).

An implementation of the classic Game of Life using agent based modeling.

Rules:

• A live cell with less than two alive neighbors dies.
• A live cell with more than three alive neighbors dies.
• A dead cell with three neighbors becomes alive.

You've probably heard the comment "It's the economy stupid!" Well I've finally concluded that when it comes to the economy "It's stupidity stupid!" might be a more appropriate phrase.

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

​Example of using a Macro as a counter. See the comment on Counter for a definition of the Macro then run the simulation to see the counter in action.

The intent here is to provide guidance for creating well structured and documented relationship maps that you can share with your audience and they are likely to find understandable and informative.

Investigating the behavior of several variables over time has probably raised more questions than answers. As such now it's time to investigate what else might be influencing the trending of these variables.

This is a definition of the Systems Thinking Interactive Learning Environment (STILE) development process which was used to create Beyond Connecting the Dots (BCtD).

An escalation structure results from two or more competing entities with the competition taking them to somewhere none of them want to be. See also Archetypes.

Perspective on the difference between Process and System.

Thoughts on why storytelling is critical for enabling others to understand relationship models once they're developed. This was done for the Learning Community Group at ODU Mar 2019.

While it's rather straight forward to invest money in places that generate interest over time why isn't that more of us don't do that and become rich?

A model to use for the basics of storytelling.

Trying to understand the affect of loans on money in circulation.

To this point components which are likely so support aspects of a virtual collaboration have been identified. The question now becomes how does one foster interactions between participants such that there is a definite possibility of producing meaningful results.

Two goal seeking structures attempting to resolve and based on the delay one may tend to settle for less. See also Archetypes.

A quick example for creating a simulation in Insight Maker.

From reading Why Politics Makes Us Stupid by Ezra Klein I though I had discovered a new archetype though it's really just a simple reinforcing structure, or so it seems.
