The World3 model is a detailed simulation of human population growth from 1900 into the future. It includes many environmental and demographic factors.

Use the sliders to experiment with the initial amount of non-renewable resources to see how these affect the simulation. Does increasing the amount of non-renewable resources (which could occur through the development of better exploration technologies) improve our future? Also, experiment with the start date of a more environmentally focused policy.

This model illustrates predator prey interactions using real-life data of wolf and moose populations on the Isle Royale (Michigan, USA).

Experiment with adjusting the initial number of moose and wolves on the island.

The key issue here (still an incomplete model) is that insight maker doesnt like the agent folder and the flows. I've solved the original problem where the flows couldn't go across agent boundaries (I did this simply by moving the stocks and their respective flows all OUTSIDE of the folder), but now the main issue is that the flows outside of the folder (particularly [Internal Factor Flow] don't pick up the links from the variables inside of the folder. A key variable, susceptability, has to connect to the previously mentioned flow. The problem is that it lies in the agent folder which means that the flow can't recognize the link. I even tried using a ghost of the Susceptability variable and placed it outside of the folder but that didn't work.
