About This MicroSim¶
A causal loop diagram with seven variable-nodes and two named loops. R1 (Iteration flywheel): Ship cadence produces reader feedback, which seeds revision. Peer review turnaround accelerates revision. Revisions compound into chapter quality, which builds reader trust, enabling more confident shipping. B1 (Ship-and-forget brake): Shipping without a feedback gate tempts skipping feedback collection and revision, starving the flywheel. The negative edges from the anti-pattern node are highlighted in red.
