What seems to make sense at this point is to first identify the functional aspects of the tool set even though we're aware they cannot all come from one vendor.

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.

The limits to results 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.  See also Archetypes.

A model to use for the basics of storytelling.

The city of Bergen has a goal of becoming fossil-free in 2030. How do we get there? Some weeks ago, local experts from different domains came together and developed a causal loop diagram (CLD). This will form the skeleton for the modelling hackathon.

There are two basic modes of organizational operation, one founded on the concept of management and one founded on the concept of leadership. These two modes represent very different systemic structures.

To this point components which are likely so support aspects of a virtual collaboration have been identified. The question now becomes how does one foster interactions between participants such that there is a definite possibility of producing meaningful results.

A spatially aware, agent based model of disease spread. There are three classes of people: susceptible (healthy), infected (sick and infectious), and recovered (healthy and temporarily immune).

The three common recurring structures.

Use a bathtub model to investigate the manner in which inflows and outflows govern the quantity of a stock. Extend the structure to create and investigate the relationships of a goal seeking balancing loop.

A random walk demonstration using an ABM. As individuals drink more they become more intoxicated and their walk becomes more random. And when they drink to much it finally kills them.

This is the collected data for the pattern of behavior of the Rookies & Pros example of the Systemic Perspective Development Guide. Though the development guide  no longer exists this is a good example of captured data to create a reference mode to compare a simulation to.

The intent here is to provide guidance for creating well structured and documented relationship maps that you can share with your audience and they are likely to find understandable and informative.

An implementation of the classic Game of Life using agent based modeling.

Rules:

• A live cell with less than two alive neighbors dies.
• A live cell with more than three alive neighbors dies.
• A dead cell with three neighbors becomes alive.

Success to the successful archetype represents two reinforcing structures which may be in a delicate balance though as soon as one gains a small advantage the resource allocation favors the more successful and the result is then rapidly skewed in the direction of the more successful. See also Archetypes.

This is my first attempt at creating a simple Agent Based Simulation Model. Nothing fancy, just something that works.

Part 2 demonstrates labeling of links as well as putting elements of the model in a folder. A number of previously developed models are also presented to provide an idea of what's possible.

Integrating all the relevant elements in pursuit of a Systemic Strategy is an undertaking that will require diligent attention. You pursue an intent in a manner akin to meandering around in the dark without even a candle to guide your way. Along the way though you encounter aspects related to the situation that you are endeavoring to figure out how to deal with. And when you persist to actually evolving a Systemic Perspective, only then will there be light at the end of the tunnel, and you will have a sense of which direction the tracks should be laid to effect the alternative situation you are seeking.
