'''System dynamics''' is an approach to understanding the [[behaviour]] of [[complex]] [[system]]s over time. It deals with internal feedback loops and [[time]] delays that affect the behaviour of the entire system.[1] What makes using system dynamics different from other approaches to studying complex systems is the use of feedback loops and stocks and [[flow]]s. These elements help describe how even seemingly simple systems display baffling [[nonlinearity]]. | '''System dynamics''' is an approach to understanding the [[behaviour]] of [[complex]] [[system]]s over time.
