Feedback Loops Speak Louder Than Words

  I guess this could be considered my tribute to xkcd...


Diagram 1.1


Diagram 1.2



My driving experiences function as a negative feedback loop, which will continue in its cycle despite minor perturbations (such as the occasional two-hour drive averaging 85 mph).

In diagram 1.1, we see that my chances of getting pulled over increase proportionately to the increase of my positive outlook on life. Subsequently, my financial stability is inversely proportionate to my chances of getting pulled over.

In diagram 1.2, we see that as my financial stability decreases, my positive outlook on life also decreases, which, in turn, decreases my chances of getting pulled over. As the rate of cop-encounters lowers, I become more financially stable, which increases my positive outlook on life, and thus, the cycle begins all over again.


Now, for extra credit: can you guess in which point of the #@%$ing diagram I am right now?


I highly doubt I'm getting any sleep tonight. I was going 41 mph for Pete's sake.
