Benefits of Using the Panarchy Metaphor for Mental Models ♦ Dynamic Thinking: – events are viewed as part of an ongoing cycle of growth and change – continuous build-up and release of pressure within a system ♦ Systems-as-Cause Thinking: – system behavior caused by interactions between fast and slow variables – system creates conditions for its own release period ♦ Forest Thinking: – temporal scales extended to view entire cycles – look at more than one variable and more than one scale
Benefits of Using the Panarchy Metaphor for Mental Models ♦ Closed-Loop Thinking: – feedbacks become critical to understanding system behavior – Small-scale processes feedback and dominate during back-loop periods of release. ♦ Scientific Thinking: – models and policies must change to fit the situation – Constantly reassess to see where the model/policy does not fit the system
