Double loop learning simulation using a hierarchy of an action and intent system based on Perceptual Control Theory. The action system described in a Control Theory insight now has an added intent system which changes the internal reference signal for the action system.

This is a causal loop diagram trying to show the effects of constant management approval on time, creativity and frustration. Ultimately nothing gets implemented because the process of doing it drains the organisation of the will to do it :-) (I think)

A simple model of a PID controller, controlling a valve refilling a leaky water tank.

In the scenario, at T=10 minutes, a faucet is opened for one minute, draining the tank. There's also a constant amount of leakage from the tank at all times.

The best way to play with the PID controller parameters is to click "Simulate", then click on the "map pin"-shaped icon on the simulation results, which will link the graphs to the model. Without closing the graphs, one can now drag the parameter sliders and see the graphs change.

Based on 1990 SDR Article. Control systems act to make their own input match internal standards or reference signals. Competent control systems create illusions of stimulus response causality. Stimulus-response theory can approximate the relationship between disturbance and action, but it can't predict the consequences of behavior. These consequences are maintained despite disturbances. See IM-9007 for a double loop version
