Basic Pathologies of Simple Systems
summary
Explores simple dynamic systems that can produce emergent behaviors such as resonance, runaway growth, oscillation (‘jitter’) or collapse, using concrete examples to show how those behaviours are triggered and observed. Covers techniques for damping or amplifying those effects and argues these outcomes reflect the systems’ nature rather than being mere defects, aimed at people who build or adjust systems (especially software/organisational systems).
