This is a model depicting the interactions of the Aesop's Fable "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."

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.

Thoughts on the growth of the Twitter user community presented as a causal loop diagram.

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.

Introduce the concept of modeling and simulation.

A Growth and Underinvestment with a Drifting Standard structure is simply an elaborated Growth and Underinvestment structure where the growth inhibitor induces a decline of the standard over time. The real nasty thing about this structure is that the growth inhibitor influence sets up a Reinforcing Loop which even further promotes a drifting of the standard over time.

The Home Heating System can be used to demonstrate how we get caught in dilemmas and become victims of ourselves.

Addiction Systems Archetype Stock & Flow Diagram.

Developing a strategy for dealing with a situation begins with a description of the situation and the preferred state for today, not in some distant future, and the perceived implications of not doing anything. There is a also a video for this insight.

How we know what we know.

A quick set of examples for creating a simulation in Insight Maker.

To develop insights regarding a situation of interest there are a number of things should be considered to ensure a view of the relevant influences.
