- Cycle
- The cycle-breaking intervention transfers directly from systems dynamics — sever the loop at a strategic edge: dose with alum to bind sediment phosphorus (breaking the sediment-release edge) or aerate to break the oxygen-depletion edge — the identical move a software team makes severing a circular import and a household makes restructuring a debt spiral (interest → higher balance → more interest).
This sourceClassic account of a self-reinforcing debt spiral: over-indebtedness and falling prices raise real debt burdens, which deepen the downturn in a 'vicious spiral' — a positive-feedback cycle broken only by a counteracting intervention.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
