Franco, Douglas, "The Causal Loop Diagram", 1981

ua435

The Causal Loop Diagram, a signed diagraph which shows the variables and interactions of a system Dynamic model, has been studied. It has been found convenient to start with the levels and their interactions. Then signed interactions between levels and rates may proceed. The transformation from signed level diagraph into Causal Loops, in terms of levels and rated, is presented. Dynamics properties such as stability, oscillations, controllability, and observability are related to the information contained in the Causal Loop Diagram. These dynamics properties have been found very useful in the synthesis of policies aimed to manipulate structure. Illustrations and examples are inserted in the exposition.
