Feedback Loops
Systems are governed by feedback loops, not single decisions. Positive loops amplify behavior; negative loops stabilize it.
Many problems arise because feedback loops remain invisible. Users react, systems respond—and unintentionally reinforce patterns like stress, mistrust, or overuse.
System-aware UX identifies these loops early and designs them deliberately. Not every reinforcement is desirable.
