Learning exercise adapted from Donella Meadows "Thinking in Systems," Part One: Systems Structure and Behavior. The example is a single stock system (room temperature) managed by two competing goal-seeking balancing loops, each of which is attempting to pull the stock to a different goal.
The simplest negative feedback dynamic: a constant upper limit. Used to explore Insightmaker options.
Note: temperature units don't work. The simulation uses dollars to show how the relationships between units. Removing units (making every variable unitless) is also an option.

A thermostat analogy used by Evans and Stoddardt in Producing Health Consuming HealthCare to explain why healthcare spending increases. This concept map is based on the Insight IM-736 Thermostat example
