systems

Systems

systems are composed of:

1. elements
2. interconnections
3. a function or purpose

Feedback loops can be:

1. balancing
2. reinforcing

Feedback is time travel. It can only describe what happened. Adjustment based on feedback will effect the future. It won't fix the present.

Delays: A delay in a balancing feedback loop makes a system likely to oscillate.

"High leverage, wrong direction" -- the car dealer found a highly effective lever, but pulled it in the wrong direction by shortening her delays, and worsened her oscillations. She flattened her curves by increasing the delay.
