A deeper dive into the Evolving Meta Framework and its underlying assumptions. Here's a snippet:

"Every framework has limitations until it adopts new axioms and reinforces those axioms recursively through frameworks, you can always change a framework by allowing it to create proto frameworks and new frameworks in general."

Rethinking inventory strategy — new system dynamics research challenges retail norms.

A recent study shows that introducing a competing product earlier during an existing product’s decline phase can lead to higher long-term revenue.

Key insights for retail leaders:
Inventory decisions must model real substitution behavior
Early introductions can phase out old products more profitably
Demand forecasting should include stockout effects
Safety stock planning and shorter review cycles reduce lost sales
Dynamic, not static, strategies win in FMCG and tech retail

This is a must-read for anyone managing product portfolios, especially in fast-moving markets where demand shifts fast and substitution patterns aren't predictable.

@ketanjoshi.co i would say #collapse in systems dynamics describes a shift in dominance of feedbacks. in the context of complexity theory it is used to describe rapid breakdown of complexity. but it is never used in any of these professions as a technical term. they have their own, very specific jargon and definitions of different concepts of collapse.

too many people #talkcollapse who never read any #systemstheory.

so i am going to post a thread of some graphs about the human situation on the planet. some show data, some show concepts. all of them are going to be pretty depressing, so buckle up.

An overdue #introduction (thanks for the prompt when I switched instances @aussocialadmin )

My name is Scott and I live in Sydney (on Wangal Country in the Inner West). My pronouns are he / him.

I was born and raised in Canada (Alberta, even), and have lived in some great places around the world (Montreal, NYC, Vermont, rural Kenya). Being a Canadian man of a certain age, yes, I play hockey. Even in Australia.

I've been very (not extremely) online since the 90s. First it was rec.music.phish, then fark.com, then the Big Tech Socials.

I strive to behave with compassion and to be more kind than nice. But I also shitpost from time to time because internet.

I'm interested in lots of things and barely maintain a blurred boundary between personal and professional. See hashtags below or on my profile for a more specific list, but I think it's generally encompassed by the concept of #interbeing which I understand as being coined by Thich Nhat Hanh and drawn from Vietnamese and older Buddhist concepts.
