Hysteresis refers to the phenomenon where the current state of a system is influenced by its past history or path-dependent factors, even after the external conditions that caused the initial change have been removed or reversed. In other words, hysteresis implies a lag or delay in the response of a system to changes in its inputs or environment.

History matters! In systems, Hysteresis shows how past states affect the present and future. Change isn’t always immediate, and sometimes it lingers. 📊🔄 #Hysteresis #SystemsThinking #MentalModels
