Finding the Loops that Matter
The Loops that Matter method (Schoenberg et. al, 2019) for understanding model behavior provides metrics showing the contribution of the feedback loops in a model to behavior at each point in time. To provide these metrics, it is necessary find the set of loops on which to compute them. We show in this paper the necessity of including loops that are important at different points in the simulation. These important loops may not be independent of one another and cannot be determined from static analysis of the model structure. We then describe an algorithm that can be used to discover the most important loops in models that are too feedback rich for exhaustive loop discovery. We demonstrate the use of this algorithm in terms of its ability to find the most explanatory loops, and its computational performance for large models. By using this approach, the Loops that Matter method can be applied to models of any size or complexity.

The self-referring DNA and protein: a remark on physical and geometrical aspects
All known life forms are based upon a hierarchy of interwoven feedback loops, operating over a cascade of space, time and energy scales. Among the most basic loops are those connecting DNA and proteins. For example, in g…

This paper presents an analytical approach to explore the damping effect of inner loops on grid-forming converters. First, an impedance model is proposed to characterize the behaviors of inner loops, thereby illustrating…
Existence conditions for hidden feedback loops in online recommender systems
We explore a hidden feedback loops effect in online recommender systems. Feedback loops result in degradation of online multi-armed bandit (MAB) recommendations to a small subset and loss of coverage and novelty. We stud…
Recommendation SystemsInherent directionality explains the lack of feedback loops in empirical networks
We explore the hypothesis that the relative abundance of feedback loops in many empirical complex networks is severely reduced owing to the presence of an inherent global directionality. Aimed at quantifying this idea, w…
