- [[Schelling's tipping model]] # Idea Tipping points are [[non-linear models]], like [[rectified linear unit]]. A small change leads to a huge effect. ![[Pasted image 20210519095810.png]] They are different from [[exponential growth|exponential growth models]], which aren't tipping point models. Examples include [[percolation model]] and [[SIS model]]. Different types of tips: [[direct tip]], [[contextual tip]] A system can tip from one state/class to another—stable, periodic, random, complex (see [[automaton models|cellular automata]]). We can measure tips in different ways: - [[diversity index]] - [[conceptual definitions of entropy]] # References - https://www.coursera.org/learn/model-thinking/lecture/GiJJw/percolation-models - https://www.coursera.org/learn/model-thinking/lecture/0pujC/classifying-tipping-points - https://www.coursera.org/learn/model-thinking/lecture/IQW8i/measuring-tips
