1. Catalogue EVENTS/PIVOT POINTS -- Like scenarios, based on Focal Issue -- Take into account frequency, repetitiveness 2. Calibrate LIKELIHOOD -- Take into account frequency, repetitiveness 3. Calibrate SEVERITY OF EFFECT -- Eg: duration, amplitude -- Are there secondary or chain effects? 4. Map onto axes -- Identify current state/Origin 5. Connect CAUSE-EFFECT NODES -- Are events linked?

INTERNAL VARIATION EXTERNAL VARIATION ORIGIN

SCENARIO 2

2. Identify DRIVING FORCES/SYSTEMS BOXES -- eg: social dynamics, economic issues, political, technological, logistical 3. Calibrate SYSTEM UNCERTAINTIES -- how do systems vary? -- what do data show? 4. Map uncertainties: KEY DIMENSIONS -- horizontal: internal agents -- vertical: external/environmental agents -- indicate areas of impossibility 5. Create a NARRATIVE THREAD for each quadrant

 Define performance criteria & constraining pressures (eg: damage) Run simulation serially with differenct constraint parameters Any selection sets? (eg: are outputs fed back in as inputs, or does system reset with each generation?) Identify any optimization fronts or basins of attraction Characterize sensitivity of the system

//FITNESS & CONVERGENCE

Label axes Map relative intensities Take snapshots & explore alternative outcomes Where do singularities occur internally/locally? What thresholds exist, if any, for global characteristics?
