A '''causal loop diagram''' ('''CLD''') is a [[causal diagram]] that aids in visualizing how different variables in a system are interrelated. The diagram consists of a set of [[node (computer science)|nodes]] and edges. Nodes represent the variables and edges are the links that represent a connection or a relation between the two variables. A link marked '''positive''' indicates a positive relation and a link marked negative indicates a negative relation. A positive causal link means the two nodes change in the same direction, i.e. if the node in which the link starts decreases, the other node also decreases. Similarly, if the node in which the link starts increases, the other node increases as well. A '''negative''' causal link means the two nodes change in opposite directions, i.e. if the node in which the link starts increases, the other node decreases and vice versa. <br />

Closed cycles in the diagram are very important features of the CLDs. A closed cycle is either defined as a '''reinforcing''' or '''balancing''' [[feedback]] loop. A reinforcing loop is a cycle in which the effect of a variation in any variable propagates through the loop and returns to the variable reinforcing the initial deviation i.e. if a variable increases in a reinforcing loop the effect through the cycle will return an increase to the same variable and vice versa. A balancing loop is the cycle in which the effect of a variation in any variable propagates through the loop and returns to the variable a deviation opposite to the initial one i.e. if a variable increases in a balancing loop the effect through the cycle will return a decrease to the same variable and vice versa.

图中的闭合循环是 cld 的重要特征。一个封闭的循环要么被定义为一个强化的或平衡的反馈回路。强化循环是一个循环,在这个循环中,任何变量的变化影响通过循环传播,并返回到强化初始偏差的变量。如果一个变量在一个强化循环中增加,循环中的效应将返回到相同变量的增加,反之亦然。平衡回路是一个循环,在这个循环中,任何变量的变化影响通过回路传播,并返回给变量一个与初始变量相反的偏差。如果一个变量在平衡循环中增加,那么循环中的效应将使同一个变量减少,反之亦然。

A causal loop diagram (CLD) is a causal diagram that aids in visualizing how different variables in a system are interrelated. The diagram consists of a set of nodes and edges. Nodes represent the variables and edges are the links that represent a connection or a relation between the two variables. A link marked positive indicates a positive relation and a link marked negative indicates a negative relation. A positive causal link means the two nodes change in the same direction, i.e. if the node in which the link starts decreases, the other node also decreases. Similarly, if the node in which the link starts increases, the other node increases as well. A negative causal link means the two nodes change in opposite directions, i.e. if the node in which the link starts increases, the other node decreases and vice versa.

因果回路图Causal Loop Diagram是一种因果图,有助于可视化地显示系统中不同变量之间的相互关系。该图由一组节点和边组成。节点代表变量,边代表两个变量之间的关系或连接链接。标记为正的链接表示正向关系,标为负的链接表示负向关系。正因果链接意味着两个节点在同一方向上发生变化,也就是说,如果链接起始的那个节点减少,则链接的另一个节点也会减少。类似地,如果链接的起始节点增加,则链接的另一个节点也会增加。负因果链接意味着两个节点在相反的方向变化,即,如果链接的起始节点增加,则另一个节点减少,反之亦然。< br/>

A reinforcing loop is a cycle in which the effect of a variation in any variable propagates through the loop and returns to the variable reinforcing the initial deviation i.e. if a variable increases in a reinforcing loop the effect through the cycle will return an increase to the same variable and vice versa.

闭合循环是因果回路图的重要特征。一个闭合循环要么是强化回路Reinforcing Loop,要么是平衡回路Balancing Loop。强化回路中,任何变量发生变化所造成的影响会通过回路进行传播后回到这个变量,并强化这个变量的初始偏差。也就是说,一个变量增长后,强化回路的作用会使得这个变化沿着回路返回给这个变量一个增量,反之亦然。平衡回路中,任何变量发生的变化会沿着回路传播并返回给该变量一个与初始偏差相反的偏差。也就是说,如果一个变量增加,经过平衡回路的作用会使得返回给该变量一个减少值,反之亦然。


If a variable varies in a reinforcing loop the effect of the change reinforces the initial variation. The effect of the variation will then create another reinforcing effect. Without breaking the loop the system will be caught in a vicious cycle of circular chain reactions. For this reason, closed loops are critical features in the CLDs.

如果一个变量在强化回路中发生变化,这种变化的作用会加强初始变化。这种变化的作用会产生另一种强化效果。如果不打破这个回路,系统会陷入循环链式反应的恶性循环中。正是因为这个原因,闭合回路成为了因果回路图的关键特性。

Positive and negative causal links

  • Positive causal link means that the two nodes change in the same direction, i.e. if the node in which the link starts decreases, the other node also decreases. Similarly, if the node in which the link starts increases, the other node increases.


  • Negative causal link means that the two nodes change in opposite directions, i.e. if the node in which the link starts increases, then the other node decreases, and vice versa.

Reinforcing and balancing loops

To determine if a causal loop is reinforcing or balancing, one can start with an assumption, e.g. "Node 1 increases" and follow the loop around. The loop is:

  • reinforcing if, after going around the loop, one ends up with the same result as the initial assumption.

Or to put it in other words:

或者换句话说:

  • balancing if the result contradicts the initial assumption.

Or to put it in other words:

  • reinforcing loops have an even number of negative links (zero also is even, see example below)

Identifying reinforcing and balancing loops is an important step for identifying Reference Behaviour Patterns, i.e. possible dynamic behaviours of the system.
