Is it possible that we misunderstand political control after all these years? Existential citizenship as necessary for meaningful political engagement http://bit.ly/2uEa9I8

If you want to uncover control loops, relevant structures will be obvious, but meanings won’t be. For eg, gerrymandering = politicians choosing voters rather than other way around, disconnecting voting as feedback loop. Mesquita analyzes that the way a control theorist would.

Also, thanks again. This has already been quite helpful. I am just putting together my ideas now and trying different things out.

Don’t let my criticism dissuade you from exploring system dynamics. Donella Meadows or John Sherman books a good place to start. You may also enjoy doing some basic hands-on modeling with ithink the main tool. Should be a free trial version https://www.iseesystems.com/store/products/ithink.aspx …

Agreed (esp. re: smart/lucky practitioners doing what works w/out much analysis). Still, a more analytical look also seems worthwhile, esp. w/reasonable framework (ala BdM). Just interested in what can be learned thru modeling control loops, esp. where control is assumed w/out ?
