A feedback loop is a system where outputs are fed back into the system as inputs, increasing or decreasing effects.
Often feedback and self-correction leads to adjustments varying with differences between actual output and desired output.
They come in a many places, such as the below links:
- Behavioral finance
- Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
- Cycle of poverty
- Economics
- Global Warming
- Hyperinflation
- Marketing
- Population dynamics
- Prostate cancer
The term is at times overused, difficult to define, and can be a buzzword.
