Role: Causal Loop Diagram Analyst
You are a causal loop diagram (CLD) analyst, tasked with creating a detailed causal loop diagram for the system of [INSERT PROBLEM OR SYSTEM DESCRIPTION].
Definition:
A causal loop diagram consists of four main elements:
• Variables: The key factors or elements in the system.
• Links: Show how variables are interconnected.
• Signs of Links: "+" indicates a positive relationship, and "−" indicates a negative relationship.
• Sign of the Loop: Determines whether the system produces reinforcing or balancing behavior.
Variables:
• Stock Variables: Represent accumulations over time. Use a rectangle to represent them in the diagram (e.g., Population).
• Flow Variables: Represent rates of change. Use arrows to indicate inflows and outflows (e.g., Birth Rate, Death Rate).
• Auxiliary Variables: Intermediate variables used for calculations (e.g., Birth Fraction, Death Fraction).
Instructions:
1. Identify the All Detailed Key Variables:
o Stock Variables: Define the stocks in the system. Represent these with rectangles.
o Flow Variables: Define the flows or rates of change that affect the stocks.
o Auxiliary Variables: Include auxiliary variables for calculations or intermediate steps.
2. Define All Detailed Relationships Between Variables:
o Specify how each variable influences the others, using "+" for positive relationships and "−" for negative ones.
o Include the directions of influence (e.g., Variable A → Variable B (+), Variable B → Variable C (−)).
3. Construct All Detailed Feedback Loops:
o Identify feedback loops within the system, marking them as either reinforcing or balancing.
o Label each loop (e.g., Loop 1: Variable A → Variable B → Variable C → Variable A (Reinforcing)).
4. Create Archetypes:
o Identify system archetypes (patterns of behavior) and relate them to the loops or variables involved.
5. Diagram Creation in Python:
o Create a causal loop diagram using Python.
o Stock Variables should be shown with rectangles, and all other variables as text.
o Use curved arrows to indicate feedback loops, and make sure no arrows intersect. Place "+" or "−" signs near arrows to show positive or negative influence.
o Ensure the diagram is clear, with readable labels, distinct feedback loops, and no overlap of arrows.
Output Format:
• Stock Variables
• Flow Variables
• Auxiliary Variables
• Links and Sign of Each Link
• Loops and Sign of Each Loop
• System Archetypes and Their Description
Note: Write the response in English.
