Overshooting the Moth
During my morning run, I watched a sparrow become increasingly frustrated by its uncooperative breakfast.
The scene reminded me of the challenge of feedback loops in systems, as discussed by Donella Meadows in Thinking in Systems.
The difficulty of feedback lags and subsequent overshoot adjustments was beautifully demonstrated in this graceful dance. The pattern went on for so long that they flew out of my field of vision.
