What is easy to understand, but hard to illustrate is cyclic patterns of impulse - response.

Without the impulse, no response. However, it is the response that drives the nature of the dynamics.

I've recently paid attention to this phenomenon, and believe the concept can be adapted also to human phenomena.

As heads-of-state Trump and Putin have misunderstood each other's communications for some time, it is only natural that they are distrustful.

Each one expects the words of the other to lead to a response they can understand.

I decided that I am certain enough to model a solution to the armed conflict in Syria on my blog. The analysis is based on my understanding of graph theory and studies of the nation state stakeholders in the conflict.

Controversial and tangential, I know.

Consider this: Any organization is a system of people in roles, let's call them members. The members are expected to make decisions in accordance with their responsibilities. All decisions rest on the available information. The human mind is imperfect, including limitations in memory, and an emotional context for the information.

So, an organization is typically a tree of people making decisions, which together form a system.

A number of these systems are operating on and near Syrian territory. The dynamics may best be described as utter chaos.

Furthermore, I don't believe there has been any instance in the history of mankind where a rocket has performed a successful investigation of crimes.

It's well worth the karma hit if this may trigger someone to come up with better ideas than more rockets.
