The Four Non-Equilibriums of Complex Systems
Negative feedback is a form of stabilization mechanism for the system. It means that a dynamic is being toned down if you like. Without negative feedback populations would keep growing, but because they're dependent on some kind of food source, there will be eventually slowing down of that increase. And then finally, of our four non-equilibrium, probably worthwhile starting what we mean by equilibrium first, and then talk about why complex systems exhibit this non-equilibration.
