Cyclical (Repeating / Regular) Processes

Core cyclical processes

Trigger: Solar Energy, Moon / Tidal energy, Air circulation patterns

Biogeochemical Cycles

Living system metabolism (plants and animals)

(CLD to be added to show the types of interactions.)

Core External processes

Triggers Increase in CO₂ over time resulting in temperature rises. The GHG emissions are triggering a change in the normal absorption patterns of the interaction of the solar radiation (frequency range) and the atmospheric and land concentrations of atoms to absorb or reflect solar radiation

Trigger: Usage of ecosystem services and depletion of natural resources.

Trigger: Natural Processes / Events: Earthquake, Volcanoes, Storms, Floods, Fires, Extreme Heat, Loss of Soil, Desertification, etc..

External Trigger: Collision with Meteor or other space objects

External Trigger: Solar Flare

Feedback loops from University of Oregon

External Pollution from other Layers

Trigger: Increase in plastic waste or other waste not disposed of (recycled) properly

Core cyclical processes

Raising a family

Communication, culture

Core External processes

Trigger: Changes in values and beliefs (culture of specific society)

Trigger: creation, development and release of social systems

Trigger: War (within a country / between countries)

Trigger: Change in government (new policies / rules)

Trigger: Breaking the law

Trigger: Pandemic

Core cyclical processes

Market trading (dissipative structures)

Disruptive triggers

Trigger: Government change in Market rules and regulation

Trigger: Trade wars

Trigger: Protectionism

Trigger: Disruptive Innovation

Infrastructure Services:

Trigger: Unexpected emergent properties (affordances or disruption)
