Just a quick note - "positive" and "negative" are confusing to students (and practitioners) just because of the reason alluded to in the video - positive often implies beneficial, and negative the opposite, but it really describes the direction the response has to the disturbance. I've been using "reinforcing" and "balancing" (respectively) - seems to work better.
The whole video is awesome, but the creative illustrations and the metaphors deserve special praise! Moreover humans have become the most influential and the most powerful creators of music. Only time will tell if that brings more positivity or negativity to the universe.
I found out addictions are just that, a positive feedback loop. Pleasure feeds back the system, so you do more of the same action that got you pleasure, until you realize you're screwing yourself.
I wish we would teach about feed back loops in K-12 education. It is a very important mathematical concept that really lies at the heart of just about everything, from Economics to Biology.
+Jonas Gustafsson Like any medium for presenting information, the only value it holds is in the information it presents and how well that information is articulated. The medium itself is irrelevant if the only goal is to present information. Now, one can argue (and it is safe to say many would agree) that certain media is better than others at instilling strong feelings (ex. a game can be better than a movie at self-reflection since it is the player doing the action), but this is not always the case. In other words, a cartoon is just a cartoon. It is used (arguably) well to teach here. Any other meaning one attaches to this is based on cultural norms. (One of this being, for example, that in many western nations, it is common to say cartoons are mindless.) It is a fallacy to denounce the potential for learning simply by judging the medium in which it is presented. ^u^
Jonas Gustafsson Indeed I can be. It just has to be a party where people are willing to think about things. It must be a party where people do not take things and assume they are right and acknowledge that what we know is simply a stepping stone to knowing more. ^_^
@@ellarose8553 hi. Thank you. Yeah, I figured it out not long after I asked. I'm not even really sure why i asked lol. I should have known that I wouldn't get an answer anytime soon after I asked, if at all.
Great video. I think this is how the wave function collapses in physics. You start with a probability wave which is made up of e.g. a photon in a variety of different possible places e.g 30% likely to be here, 30% likely to be there 30% likely to be over there etc & then you measure where the particle is which SOMEHOW (noone knows how) 'collapses' the wave function so that the photon's location is 100% likely to be in 1 place. I think there's feedback between the measurement & the wave that rapidly amplifies the probability
Someone who's good both at music and ecology should one day investigate feedback loops in different ecosystems and make interpretations of them as pieces of music. That would be very cool.
Great video! Though I'm wondering if anyone else noticed they pronounce "humus" (Hue-mus) like "hummus" (Hum-mus), which is a Greek dip made of chickpeas. I love the harmony metaphor to illustrate the concept of complexity.
When things go sideways…. We have to find pathways toward better correction and positive feedback loops. I’ve been telling my kids since they were little… “what’s the most important thing about falling down?”. They call back, “get back up”. They are the teenagers now, so I don’t get the same calm back… :). The concept of human centric positive feedback loops is decent. The iron sharpens iron concept with health, climate and tools can help. #LoveEVICTShate
The nature is teemed with example of positive and negative feedback. The nature don't need a central planner, different variables control each other like a musical harmony. Our bodily functions also are controlled by feedback system. ex., hormone, neural communication, and many many...
I became so sad when the flute playing panda went out of the frame, I was just waiting for it to come back, but then the real horror struck that this is where we ACTUALLY are headed to
This is what I've been trying to tell people for 2 years on my channel. There's a feedback loop that governs a certain social dynamic in our country. Let's just say there's a "group A" that feels oppressed, and treated unfairly. Due to this feeling, they behave in certain ways. It completely shapes their culture (in negative ways). Due to how this culture is perceived by a certain other group, this other group, "group B" _does_ treat group A in exactly the way group A expected: unfairly. This is a feedback that group A doesn't see. You think you're treated a certain way, and YOU ARE, but you don't realize it's your own behavior that creates this feedback loop. Think of it this way. If there were never reports of pitbull attacks, would anyone have certain stereotypical views of pitbulls in general? Where do you think those views came from? Out of thin air? I don't know what else I can say. I'm ready to pull my hair out. I've been trying to teach these concepts for about two years, and I have NO AUDIENCE. No one ever shares my videos, no one ever gives me a chance. You know what they call this? THE CASSANDRA COMPLEX.
The negative is the moisture from the ice creating more clouds, allowing less heat in. The positive is when heat escapes from frozen ice and heats up the earth even more
Well, considering great musicians can use feedback to their advantage to be part of the music, it’s not necessarily an obstacle. But I get what he was trying to say.
So... like the Light and Dark side of The Force, Equilibrium or like in real nature and physics Super Symmetry of Forces of Nature (matter and anti-matter)?
Hello and thank you for this quality work. Is it possible to use this video in classroom with my students (partly or in full)? What about copyright? Thank you. #french biology teacher
As far as I’m concerned, you don’t need to ask for this type of stuff. You are allowed to show your students. It’s a different story if you use their video in a video that you make.
I keep finding mispronunciation in these vids. Recently it was "a dice" not "a die". In this one, He says "Hummus", which is a chickpea derived food from the middle-east/mediterranean. Humus, is pronounced "Hyoo-mus" or "Hoo-mus", depending on who you ask. Somebody get the narrators a coach or something.
Octopi would be really good percussionists if they knew what they were doing and could live out of water for long enough. Same with spiders, except they are land animals and are way too small and unintelligent. The flower playing guitar looks like Leslie from The Amazing World of Gumball. The scorpion holding a triangle is pretty accurate. Flute Panda should be a meme. Yes, I’m a musician, in case you couldn’t tell.
if there is not an intelligent designer behind all this, then i think me and my friends should just keep beating at some instruments until we make a hit album its bound to happen by chance right? hum but then even then i guess since we are intelligent that it still means that it came about by intelligent design.
We have created software that can predicted with about 80% accuracy whether or not a song will be in the top 40 based on patterns, that and we've created software that can create pop songs based on a simple set of rules and randomized input. So software can generate a hit off of just random input. The point in feed back loops allow complex system to spontaneously generate based on very simple rules, and feedback. Look up Logistic map, the game of Life (chaos theory not the board game), or really any subject in chaos theory. Chaos theory that very very complex systems can and do arise with out the need of any designer.
dude we made the software and we gave it rules to follow to make sound, that sounds like an intelligent designer you actually made me even more convinced that there must be an intelligent being out there
You seem to misunderstand my point. We might have identified the rules that make pop music popular , but those rules spontaneously arose through a series of cultural and economic feedback loops. Further my other examples have 0 need for a designer. Chaos theory proves complexity can arise from spontaneously with out any need of a designer. The Watch maker argument is incorrect.
I enjoyed the animations of the animals playing more than I should have.
Dancing flower reminded me of little dancing Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy
Arinoth There was a toy that was a dancing flower....back in the 80's or 90's. It was like a dancing santa, just with a sunflower or daisy.

Truee. That's what I tought before
It's mentioned in the video: "Amplifying". Everyone can understand that amplifying is not always positive.
there should be a game like this maintaining an ecosystem
Our teacher gave us a project to do that... but we gotta create everything
You can call it gardening.
It's called Minecraft

SAMEEEEE
You did, just on a different level. Cant escape the loops in music.

Way to go !!! 😀😀
Thank u all very much
Thank you so much for this!
Feedback loops are the process between device outputs. They are used as inputs.
I found the analogy to music to be very useful. :)
This is such a great way to convey this information. Thanks for this awesome video really appreciate
The final part made my day

Thank you random RUclips commentator
I thought this was a great way to understand something very complex!
1:38 I think they are wrong. Less death and less growth cause negative effect. So -1 x -1 = 1, the results is positive feedback.
Comment section:
1% about the content of the video
99% about the animation
Beautiful Explaination
what are the negative and positive feedback loops that they mentioned?
The negative is the moisture from the ice creating more clouds, allowing less heat in. The positive is when heat escapes from frozen ice and heats up the earth even more
3:53 , a real song or, if so name please

wonderful animation!
David Hume was in good humour. He was humming in his Hummer after eating hummus on humus. Hum!
Well, considering great musicians can use feedback to their advantage to be part of the music, it’s not necessarily an obstacle. But I get what he was trying to say.
beautiful explanation! thank youuuu
Bt I don't understand...
That spider drummer made me laugh. Look how it claps while playing!
Thus, we have to find our own harmonious rhythm in the grand scale of things.
Is the hummus referred to also the kind we eat?
So... like the Light and Dark side of The Force, Equilibrium or like in real nature and physics Super Symmetry of Forces of Nature (matter and anti-matter)?
My son / daughter should watch this channel for daily basic 😂
I like when the spider was playing the drums it cured my phobia.
