Systems Thinking
Systems thinking provides a perspective that, most of the time, various components affect each other in various, and often unexpected, ways.

What do you think this actor map of the Seattle/Tacoma Seaport system?
I created this interactive map recently while so I could see the Seattle / Tacoma seaports as a cohesive system. I thought I would share in case anyone here would find it interesting. Is it easy to read? How would you you improve it? https://creatingwithsystems.com/puget-container-ports submitted by /u/AdorableAppeal5393 [link] [comments]
Cybernetic Storytelling: systems theory and causal loops related on structural worldbuilding
Are there any worldbuilders, systems architects, or authors in here who view fictional universes entirely as pure causal chains, systemic tensions, and logical consequences? Instead of focusing on traditional linear plots, I construct factions, institutions, and physics as an interconnected, dynamic field. I’m looking to connect with people who treat narrative elements as variables in balancing…
I created a "fake" academic system because i like systems but hate academic hard
Hello everyone! Have you ever studied academic music, higher math, or theoretical science? If so, you know how tough it can be. But at the same time, it’s undeniably cool. Musicians, coders, and mathematicians all know that feeling when you look at a complex, elegant system filled with alphas, betas, and gammas — it’s just pure poetry for the mind. Being "academic" has its own unique aesthetic.…
Coercion Through Fiat Currency
Essay: https://systemist.net/changelog/letters/2026-08-21-fiat-coercion Hi all! I've been thinking a lot about coercive systems of power lately and how they echo each other from abusive domestic situations, to cults, to corporations, to states. It has always struck me how abusive leaders learn strategies and systemic tools from other abusers (Jim Jones, of the horrific Jonestown cult, regularly…
Systems pedagogies? (META)
Hi all - I’m a grad student and for my major research project I want to evaluate a few different approaches to teaching systems literacy. I’m familiar with classics like Donella Meadows and Hugh Dubberly, and modern systems learning approaches like Compassionate Systems Framework and Adam Kahane. What other system pedagogies do you think warrant inclusion? I see a lot of folks subscribe to the…
Sometimes you walk a path, long before it has a name..
For me it started in 1998. The first scaled deployment that proved it could work was ~2000. What I learned: a game is not the learning. The learning is in how you " design the entire experience " - initiation, deliberate reflection, and reinforcement so it stays longer. That's what I call a game-based approach . It connects loosely to experiential learning and gamification, but the design of the…
Understanding The Concept
I recently graced a local university with my presence—the kind that has a national reputation for research and engineering so sterling you half expect the buildings to emit a soft, self-congratulatory glow. Very well respected. I wandered into the computer science building, that sacred temple of algorithms and unwashed hoodies. Graduate students were milling about in the usual aimless,…
System Thinking Path
Hello everyone, I have come across the wonderful book of Donella Meadow " Thinking in Systems" , the book is truly a pleasure to read and I enjoyed every concept and idea , that was my first read about system thinking. I am an independent learner who wants to pursue further the system thinking path , my first goal is abstract learning about systems understanding and modelling without any specific…
Perverse Incentives: The Cobra Effect
Hi all! First time posting to this subreddit, but seems like the right place for this. I've recently started a weekly newsletter that's explicitly about systems thinking applied to the real world. This week the topic is "perverse incentives", and how they function as a (malfunctioning) building block in systems of state power. Given that this is the kind of thing you guys talk about all day, would…
