What are the parts?
The parts are more than sum of its parts. System included three things: elements, interconnections and a function or purpose. Such as Parsons The New School of Design, Parsons like a huge system including students, faculty, materials, and environment. Those elements are interconnection with each others.
What are the inflows?
Inflows mean large amounts of money, people, or water, that moves or is transferred into a place. Inflow is a big starting point in the whole system. For example, new students are in the school means inflow. Every year, has new students coming in. Everyone has their own major and goals.
What are the outflows?
Outflow means a large amount of money, liquid, or people that moves or is transferred out of a place. Outflow is an ending part in the whole system. Those new students from inflow system, they uses there four years to study and graduating from school.
What is the behavior?
The presence of stocks allows inflows and outflows to be independent of each other and temporarily. Inflow and outflow are two individual independent. In school daily life, students are studying different majors and work on different project. Everything is independent. Even though it’s independent, but when they come together, it’s a large part.
What kinds of feedback are there?
A principle that will lead us directly to the concept of feedback. A feedback loop is formed when changes in a stock affect the flows into or out of that same stock. A feedback loop can be quite simple and direct.
What is required to sustain the behavior?
Balancing. It’s kind of stabilizing, goal-seeking, regulating loop.
