The interaction of a population of Moose and Wolves.

Once the strategy has been developed it's up to the Stakeholders who own the segments of the revised model to implement it so a new pattern of behavior is created thus effecting the desired situation.

If we pay close attention to our actions and the typical outcomes of those actions it would be evident that there are frequently occurring patterns that develop. And there is a relation between the patterns.

Clone of Causal Loop Diagrams for New Community Paradigms. Use the defined relationships and complete the loops to create a reinforcing and balancing structure. 

The Home Heating System can be used to demonstrate how we get caught in dilemmas and become victims of ourselves.

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

Illustrates the effect of sleep, exercise, and lifestyle factors on one's level of energy.

The model construction process is actually a balancing loop which endeavors to employ an abstract version of real events to form a model which produces conclusions and behavior which mimic the real events.

Escape behavior often results in more stress than one escapes from.

Very begining lab.

Introduce the concept of modeling and simulation.

When one undertakes to create a model there are a number of guidelines that are considered essential for consideration if there is to be a success with the model.

Jackson's System of Systems Methodology (SOSM) framework presents a construct that enables one to begin to make sense of the broad array of approaches that claim to embrace the Systems Thinking paradigm.

There are three types of models most commonly used.

Balancing Loop with Stock & Flow Diagram.

A small change in one variable can have a marked impact on multiple variables. Run the model [quits change] = 0  and consider the output. What happens if  you change [quits change] = 5. Run the model to find out. Was the change what you expected?

To develop insights regarding a situation of interest there are a number of things should be considered to ensure a view of the relevant influences.
