Delayed feedback can create problems in system dynamics from "summary" of Thinking in Systems by Donella H. Meadows
Delayed feedback can create problems in system dynamics. In a system with delayed feedback, a cause can produce an effect that can then affect the cause, but only after some time has passed. The time delays can vary from milliseconds to millennia. The longer the delay, the harder it is to recognize the feedback loop. Delayed feedback can lead to oscillations and instability in a system. The cause may trigger an effect, which then feeds back to amplify the original cause. This can lead to a reinforcing feedback loop that can grow exponentially over time. Oscillations can occur when the effects of a cause take time to be felt and by the time they are felt, the cause has already been modified by the feedback. The delay in feedback can also make it difficult to identify the root cause of problems in a system. When the effects of ...
