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.
When the relevant interactions are identified it's appropriate to identify which elements are the responsibility of which stakeholders, which elements are part of the addressable interactions and which elements are part of the environment.
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?
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.
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.
A Limits to Growth Systems Archetype consists of a Reinforcing Loop, the growth of which, after some success, is offset by the action of a Balancing Loop.
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.
Clone of Causal Loop Diagrams for New Community Paradigms. Use the defined relationships and complete the loops to create a reinforcing and balancing structure.
