One of the most "useful" insights I ever had is that
0. Any transfer function higher than 2nd order overshoots.
1. Society is super complex, has a ton of internal feedback loops and would easily be higher than 2nd order.
2. So of course it overshoots all the time.
I haven't been able to actually "use" it for anything but it does describe a lot of what we see every day in society.
- RossBencina 2y ago> Any transfer function higher than 2nd order overshoots. That's false. Any LTI system higher than first order might overshoot. But it's easy to design high-order systems that don't overshoot. Consider for example a cascade of first-order sections. Related terms: Bessel filter, complex vs real poles, overdamped system.
