Feedback Structures

Feedback structures are systems in which the outcome of a process influences its future behavior. There are two main types: positive feedback, which amplifies change (e.g., increased investment leading to higher profits, attracting more investors), and negative feedback, which dampens change to maintain balance (e.g., body temperature regulation, where overheating triggers sweating). These structures are essential in various fields, from economics and ecology to technology, helping to understand how actions and consequences interact over time, shaping stability and growth within systems.
