Thanks for sharing. It seems like one of the issues that needs to discussed is simplification vs oversimplification. Feedback loops are a tool that can add nuance to causal relationships (after all, they are just adding more causes) but can still be oversimplified. But simplify we must... you can map out causes all day but it still will not fully represent the terrain of reality and we need to simplify ideas to communicate them to others.

Totally agree! One metaphor I didn't include: a causal explanation is a lens for looking at a particular domain. It clarifies some things, but obscures others.
