The concept of 'CLOSING A FEEDBACK LOOP' 
means that a loop is closed to affect the person or agents that originally
are  responsible for an action so that they plainly feel its effects. This almost inevitable leads to corrective
action. One of the reasons why climate change does not  arouse passion
The concept of 'CLOSING A FEEDBACK LOOP'  means that a loop is closed to affect the person or agents that originally are  responsible for an action so that they plainly feel its effects. This almost inevitable leads to corrective action. One of the reasons why climate change does not  arouse passion and action is that it is largely invisible and most people are not aware of it, although extreme weather events are beginning to change this somewhat. The schematic representation shows how systems thinking might help to draw attention to such situations by graphically connecting the dots to promote understand and hopefully action when people realize that there is a price to be paid for inaction.  Please note, however, that the loop does not describe dynamic behaviour in the normal system dynamics sense.

A new double-lane roundabout has some issues with an offramp being very close to the exits from one side of the roundabout. There have been some safety concerns so I thought I'd look at the system to determine what the problems might be, if any, and to see if there are some viable solutions if some
A new double-lane roundabout has some issues with an offramp being very close to the exits from one side of the roundabout.
There have been some safety concerns so I thought I'd look at the system to determine what the problems might be, if any, and to see if there are some viable solutions if some issues are brought to light.

Rules of roundabouts are:
If in LL, you can turn left or go straight in LL.
If in RL, you can go straight in RL or turn right, exiting in RL.
For all cases, you must indicate asap before exiting but stay in your original chosen lane.
