Feedback Loops: Reinforcing vs Balancing Explained
Feedback loops are how systems regulate themselves. James Watt's centrifugal governor. The 1987 Black Monday crash caused by portfolio insurance.
Missing context
What was corrected
What the page claimed
The article presented the Kaibab deer collapse as a settled predator-removal case with precise population figures, and said Therac-25 directly shaped IEC 62304.
What was corrected
Added the ecological debate over the Kaibab figures and softened the Therac-25/IEC 62304 causal claim to an informational influence rather than direct shaping.
Why this is better
The Kaibab case is more contested in later ecology literature than the textbook telling suggests, and the Therac-25/standard link is influence rather than direct causation. Corrections add nuance rather than adding new sources.
