#feedback-loops

Reads the world as coupled reinforcing and balancing loops, settling a loop's sign and delay before its size and intervening on whichever loop currently dominates

Keeps asking 'and then what?' past the obvious first effect, tracing reactions and feedback loops until the dominant downstream consequence — usually late, diffuse, and opposite in sign — decides the call

Sees the structure behind events — stocks, flows, feedback loops, and delays — and hunts for the few leverage points where a small change shifts the whole system.
