The Sign of the Net Flow Decides Which Way a Stock Moves, Not the Size of Either Flow

Owns the reserved 'net flow decides direction' claim for stk-, and rests on stk-bathtub-accumulation. It is the predicted spine node that hands off to lop-link-polarity, and it is the prerequisite for stk-dynamic-equilibrium, stk-inflow-above-outflow-still-rises and stk-turning-point-at-zero-net-flow. Stops short of equilibrium, which is its own node, and of any loop structure, which belongs to lop-.

The Bathtub Analogy for Atmospheric CO_2 Stabilization in Climate Science

Atmospheric CO_2 stabilization is a mass-balance (stock-and-flow) problem: the atmosphere is a stock ("bathtub") whose level changes only according to the net difference between an inflow (CO_2 emiss…
