What is a positive feedback loop?
A positive feedback loop is a system that causes itself to grow, given the right conditions. Action A increases thing B. More of thing B causes more of action A. With more of action A, more of thing B is created…. and so on… In this case, more of a specific class creates more of that class. With even more of that class, more is created than before. Then with even MORE of that class, more again is created than before…. One way? Different positive feedback loops can balance each other out… if they have opposite effects. Or – by reversing one of the 2 (or more) factors feeding the loop, the loop can at least be slowed if not stopped. That will not happen here. Once the loop is in place, it keeps going (ie no untraining – once you build up a unit type, it WILL keep building, FASTER AND FASTER, even if you never touch it again…) – there is no stopping it thus one way. Anything else? YES.
