Document Summary
In this lab, we will investigate systems, their couplings and feedbacks using a computer simulation of an imaginary planet with white and black daisies the daisy world system. After completion of this exercise you should be able to: identify positive and negative feedbacks; Determine the type of couplings between system components; Give your own examples of systems with feedbacks; Estimate the value of feedback factors and know the meaning of feedback factors; Explain how and why the daisy world system evolves with time (with an increase in the sun"s brightness) and. Explain how white and black daisy coverage provides feedback responses. The earth system (as any other complex system) is composed of many interacting components and subsystems, which together determine the system"s state. For example, the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries are components of a human"s circulatory system. The interaction or coupling between the components may be either positive or negative.
