The Feedback Mechanism

A feedback mechanism is a process where a part of a system's output is monitored and then used to make adjustments, ensuring the system functions effectively. Think of it like a thermostat: when the temperature rises above a set point, the thermostat turns off the heater; when it drops below, it turns the heater back on. This helps maintain stability or achieve desired results. Feedback mechanisms are common in nature, technology, and organizations, allowing systems to self-regulate, improve performance, and adapt to changing conditions.
