Lecture C2 (2022-09-13): "Applying Systems Archetypes" (Kim and Lannon, 1997)

In this lecture, we review the perspectives of Kim and Lannon (1997) toward applying Systems Archetypes in strategic modeling. This involves four approaches – structural pattern templates, lenses, dynamical theories, and predicting future behavior – that capture most of the different ways that Systems Archetypes can be used to propose interventions (or predict hypothetical outcomes from those interventions) in the iterative process of using models to make changes in the world.
