In this lecture, we discuss Chapter 2 from Morecroft (2015), which introduces feedback systems thinking. Morecroft contrasts feedback systems thinking with an event-oriented world view. To aid in taking the systems perspective, causal loop diagrams (CLDs) are introduced with connections to the fundamental modes of behavior through time that are associated with common causal structures. Examples are given in the chapter from a number of different application spaces, but the lecture focuses on examples from road construction and manufacturing.
