This needs more work on the math side to be helpful. As it points out itself, the ecological example does not (in substance) correspond to the Lotka Volterra model.
Furthermore, there is no way for a species to go extinct from what I saw initially (perhaps there are options I'm missing?)
A lot of system-relationships are non-linear, or fractal, with time-ranges that are out of sync. Would be great to be able to model that -- i.e. introduce different "speeds" on how fast arrows can "travel" on the line, and to introduce functions that describe how x input arrows results in y output arrows, etc. It'd be great to be able to model how when a food source (or any input disappears), the burden shifts to the other sources etc -- now the arrows just go equally, sources/sinks can't disappear etc.
- andrewflnr 10y agoYeah, I added another predator species, and I'm pretty sure the escalating cycles of feast and famine should have led to ecological collapse.
- leethargo 10y agoI think you can just draw longer arrows to reduce the speed. Or draw multiple to increase the factor.
