If we pay close attention to our actions and the typical outcomes of those actions it would be evident that there are frequently occurring patterns that develop. And there is a relation between the patterns.
A Limits to Growth Systems Archetype consists of a Reinforcing Loop, the growth of which, after some success, is offset by the action of a Balancing Loop.
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.
The model construction process is actually a balancing loop which endeavors to employ an abstract version of real events to form a model which produces conclusions and behavior which mimic the real events.
A Fixes that Fail structure is one where the applied fix makes things better for a while and then things go awry. There is a also a video for this insight which is a component of the Systems Archetypes Course.
When endeavoring to develop an understanding of the nature of something it is generally useful to create a model of some type to aid in surfacing that understanding.
When one undertakes to create a model there are a number of guidelines that are considered essential for consideration if there is to be a success with the model.
Borrowed from STW/STiA Certification program to help develop insights regarding situations of interest to New Community Paradigms. There are a number of things should be considered to ensure a view of the relevant influences.
Clone of Causal Loop Diagrams for New Community Paradigms. Use the defined relationships and complete the loops to create a reinforcing and balancing structure.
