This model represents a repair contract to fix a group of houses with unresolved construction defects.

Based on a dialogue on the System Dynamics mailing list regarding the current level of acceptance of System Dynamics after it has been promoted for over 40 years I dredged up the following set of influences as a thought exercise. This is an example of a Drifting Goals Systems Archetype.

We can observe the Covid19 flows or transitions and linkages from healthy to infected and immune in this system dynamics model, or SDM. It conducts a flow known as infection from healthy to infected. The diseased then initiates a flow known as recovery to immunity. It means that the covid19 infects healthy people first, and then they become immune once they recover from covid19 infections. We can conduct a simulation to observe how they interact to get a more useful analysis.

The main scope in this model is seeing how several variables can affect the amounCicl

Based on model discussed by John D. Sterman (p 508) in All models are wrong: reflections on becoming a systems scientist (2002). Task: (A) Sketch what you think the resultant graph will be (see directions for drawing in model). (B) Then Run Simulation.  Optional Extension: Replace Graph In/Out Flow connection with a connection from Trig. function.  Repeat (A) & (B).

A new archetype, The Tyranny of Small Steps (TYST) has been observed. Explained through a system dynamics perspective, the archetypical behaviour TYST is an unwanted change to a system through a series of small activities that may be independent from one another. These activities are small enough not to be detected by the ‘surveillance’ within the system, but significant enough to encroach upon the “tolerance” zone of the system and compromise the integrity of the system. TYST is an unintentional process that is experienced within the system and made possible by the lack of transparency between an overarching level and a local level where the encroachment is taking place.
