Creating Sustainable Causal Cycles Between Human & Natural Systems
Interventions in cyclic causal chains have different effects over time (the nth time around) than they do initially. Directly applying interventions deduced from acyclic causal models to cyclic socio-ecological processes can potentiate maladaptive decisio
In a cyclic model, to control runaway or autocatalytic effects, look for links where the driving deviations are being amplified. Try to correct or compensate for the deviations rather than exaggerating them.
