Insight diagram
Learning exercise adapted from Donella Meadows "Thinking in Systems," Part One: Systems Structure and Behavior. The example is a single stock system (room temperature) managed by two competing goal-seeking balancing loops​, each of which is attempting to pull the stock to a different goal.

Insight diagram
The simplest negative feedback dynamic: a constant upper limit.  Used to explore Insightmaker options.

Note: temperature units don't work.  The simulation uses dollars to show how the relationships between units.  Removing units (making every variable unitless) is also an option.
