the idea behind this is another concept from systems dynamics, the seneca cliff. it postulates that complexity, which requires energy to maintain, but which dissipates energy constantly, builds up slowly over time, but collapses rapidly.
this has little actual examples in nature but most of them were a result of human activity. also industrial output sort of does this in the LTG world3 standard run.
