Homeostasis is negative feedback in biology: a sensed deviation from a set point drives a correction back toward it.
- is part ofEstablished
Feedback is a system connecting to itself: an output loops back as an input, so the system responds to its own behaviour.
- is aEstablished
Air, oceans, ice and life interact through flows and feedbacks; climate behaviour emerges from those interactions, not from any part alone.
- a longer chain
- strong relations
- well-established links
- crosses disciplines (a transfer moment)
- explains the mechanism, not just the fact
- Systems Science crosses into (System → Climate) Geography
Where else this idea appears
The idea you arrived at recurs elsewhere. Following it means reasoning about the same structure in a new context — that is transfer.

About this view
Choose any two concepts. Thinking OS traces the chain of reasoning between them — with the mechanism and epistemic status of every link — and shows that more than one valid path often exists.
A route is ranked by explanatory quality, not brevity — the clearest mechanism wins, not the fewest hops.
Every edge shows its mechanism and epistemic status; the “To” picker offers only reachable targets, so never a dead end.
