Kampmann, Christian E., "Feedback Loop Gains and System Behavior", 1996

The method of system dynamics has relied extensively on feedback loops to explain how system structure leads to pattern of behavior. Yet, beyond simple classroom examples and as guide to intuition, the concept has never been fully developed for large-scale systems with many loops. If the theory of how feedback loops lead to behavior can be developed to the point where it can be implemented as a computer algorithm, it would be enormous help both in analyzing dynamics and explaining results.
