Thanks to

for this example of chaos, and the transition to chaos. "After running the default settings Bossel describes A=0.2, B=0.2, Initial Values X=0 Y=2 and Z=0 and varying C=2,3,4,5 shows period doubling and transition to chaotic behavior."

We're looking into environmental applications in our course, and how dramatically dynamics can change, based on a small change in parameters. Climate change "suffers" this chaotic behavior, we fear, and we're going to be "taken by surprise" when the dynamics changes on us suddenly....

Insight Maker model based on the Z415 System Zoo model originally developed in Vensim.

This models the progressive decline of the ability for self-reliance and the growing dependence on outside help. ​Z508 p39-42 System Zoo 3 by Hartmut Bossel. Strong outside help causes a collapse of self-help capacity. Weak outside help produces a stable combination of wellbeing and self-help capacity.
