>The effect system (#6) is a Causal Loop Diagram. # 7 and 8 are similar to System Dynamics Modeling. 1-4 help develop a great Causal Loop Diagram. #3 and 5 greatly help determine what to use (and what not to include) in your models for action.

This is the enhanced whiteboard exercise where you add initial parts and initial relationships. It is just a static image of the first impression of the system.

We have placed each of Vester's 18 Complex System Criteria into OPM to see how the logic matches.
