The goal seeking structure endeavors to bring a balance between a current state and a desired state. This is one of the two foundation archetypes. The other being the growth structure. See also Archetypes.

Cats can quickly adjust their position in free fall so that they land on all four paws. The simple model for this movement divides the cat into a rear and front section, whose moment of inertia can be changed by extending and retracting the legs. You can find an explanation of this in this video https://youtu.be/SMMgJ6GVMhE

World4 is a predictive model for world population. Population has grown hyper-exponentially in the last millenium, with the doubling time decreasing from 900 years  in 1000 CE to a minimum of ~35 years in 1963 CE. Technology is defined as that which decreases the death rate and/or increases the effective birth rate (i.e. by decreasing infant mortality). Technology grows exponentially, therefore population fits a hyper-exponential (exponent within an exponent). Models for the end of growth are explored using equations that express the ways humans are depleting Earth's biocapacity, the nature of resource depletion, and the relationship between natural resources and human carrying capacity. This simple model, containing just two closed systems, captures the subtle shifts in the population trajectory of the last 50 years. Specifically, hyperexponential growth has given way to subexponential growth. A peak is predicted for the time around 2028.  [Bystroff, C. (2021).

This model analyzes how politness increases if an AI model shows social cues associated with pollitness or if after interaction it asks for feedback regarding that interaction or if another AI asks about the interaction with the first model.
