About this model

This diagram outlines a simple system for generating and accumulating resources through a basic cycle that amplifies over time due to a dynamic interaction between a Source, a Pool, and a Register, facilitated by both Resource and State Connections. At its core, the Source constantly generates "Black" resources that are then transferred to a Pool to be accumulated. The system employs a Register that rolls a D10 (ten-sided dice) in each step, modifying the flow rate of resources from the Source to the Pool by incrementally increasing it based on the outcome of the Register's roll.

Specifically, the mechanism works as follows: The Source initiates the cycle by producing resources at a constant flow, which are directed into the Pool for accumulation. Concurrently, the Register, through a State Connection, influences this flow by adjusting the formula that controls the resource transfer rate from the Source to the Pool. The Register's adjustment is based on a D10 roll outcome, which dynamically alters the accumulation rate in the Pool over time. This setup creates a feedback loop where the quantity of resources flowing into the Pool can increase based on the Register's random outcome, illustrating a simple yet effective mechanism for resource generation with a variable growth rate.
