I want to start trying to make interactive plots for my posts. Learning how to produce usable interactive graphics at that quality is going to take me a while, so here’s my first clumsy step!

One of the systems modeling examples was a system with a renewable resource. Holding everything else in the system, one function, yield_per_unit_capital_given_resource, could determine whether the resource stayed stable, oscillated, or dies out. Adjust the slider to see the effect.

I produced the underlying data using this script.
