Sometimes a small change produces an effect that continues to grow over time.
A simple improvement in a process leads to better results, which encourages the team to repeat the behavior. Over time, the improvement spreads across the system.
In other cases, a small mistake produces ongoing problems because it keeps influencing future actions.
Both situations reveal the same underlying mechanism: feedback.

Systems Layer
Feedback loops are structural mechanisms that allow system outputs to influence future system behavior.
In a feedback loop, the result of an action becomes a signal that affects subsequent actions. This creates a cycle in which behavior reinforces or corrects itself over time.
Feedback loops are amplification mechanisms within systems.AtomIQ identifies how small structural adjustments inside these loops can scale their influence across time and repeated activity.
