Cloud example. If you really want clouds a sources in your model it's pretty easy to create one.

In the Intoxication Model the distance walked based on level of intoxication of the individual.

Because everything is connected you can't do just one thing. And while everything is connected everything isn't relevant.

My first relationship map which demonstrates the build out of the relationship options for a project which is behind schedule.

Example of a Bathtub overflow without using an If-Then-Else statement.

A spatially aware, agent based model of disease spread. There are three classes of people: susceptible (healthy), infected (sick and infectious), and recovered (healthy and temporarily immune).

Some people have found it easier to communicate interactions and their implications with Connection Circles rather than Causal Loop Diagrams.

This is a template which one might use as a basis for creating Insight Maker Relationship models. Links have default style of the blue ones in the diagram. The easiest way to get the red dashed links is to CTRL+d to duplicate them and then connect where appropriate.

Model is created by Gene Bellinger. Original model can be accessed from https://insightmaker.com/insight/2249/Adjusting-the-Shower-SFD.

This is a clone of My First Map being used to demonstrate the addition of images to make a map more visually appealing.

There are about fifteen known archetypes with an interesting set of relationships among them.

We begin with a Bank with $0 and Borrowers with $100. Every year the Bank loans the Borrowers money at some interest rate. If the Bank loans $50 at 10% interest in 20 years the bank will have all the money and the Borrowers will be broke.

This model is derived from the paper "Nobody Ever Gets Credit for Fixing Problems that Never Happened: Creating and Sustaining Process Improvement" by Nelson P. Repenning and John D Sterman. See Insight 752 for a causal loop version of this model.

Underachievement is one of the four generic archetypes developed by Eric Wolstenholme and maps to the Limits to Growth, Tragedy of the Commons, Attractiveness Principle, Growth and Underinvestment and Growth and Underinvestment with a Drifting Standard Systems Archetypes.
