A goal seeking structure with delay can be responsible for behavior that's quite difficult to intuit.

A simple Susceptible - Infected - Recovered disease as a stock and flow model.

With two different ways to address a situation with one being easier and faster which do you think gets implemented? The problem is that taking the easy path makes it harder to take the longer term solution.

An Addiction structure is the same as the Shifting the Burden structure though with the annoying aspect that one becomes addicted to the side effect ensuring that Fundamental Solution won't get implemented and the Symptomatic Solution will be applied repeatedly, and likely with greater frequency.

A simple agent based foraging model. Consumer agents will move between fertile patches consuming them.

A Growth and Underinvestment structure is simply an elaborated Limits to Growth structure where the growth inhibitor is part of another Balancing Loop with an external standard and some delay. The real nasty thing about this structure is that the two Balancing Loops form a single Reinforcing Loop which inhibits growth.

A Susceptible - Infected - Recovered disease as a stock and flow model for COVID.

The Limits to Growth Archetype demonstrates the manner in which initial growth may be slowed over time by a limiting factor.

The limits to resutls structure endeavors to bring a balance between a current state and a desired state though more often than not the action is limited by some constraint.
