\chapter{What Is a System?}
A system is a set of interacting parts. The parts are less important than the interactions.
\section{Stocks and Flows}
Every system can be modeled as stocks connected by flows.

\chapter{Feedback Loops}
Feedback comes in two flavors: reinforcing and balancing.
\section{Reinforcing Loops}
Reinforcing loops amplify change.
\section{Balancing Loops}
Balancing loops resist change.

\chapter{Leverage Points}
Some interventions have outsized effects.
\begin{enumerate}
  \item Constants and parameters.
  \item Buffer and stock sizes.
  \item Structure of information flows.
  \item Rules of the system.
  \item Goals of the system.
  \item Paradigms out of which the system arises.
\end{enumerate}

\chapter{Case Studies}
\section{Predator--Prey}
The Lotka--Volterra equations are the classic example.
\section{Carbon and Climate}
Stocks, flows, and delays explain climate dynamics.
