Feedback occurs when the outputs of a system are routed back as inputs as part of a chain of cause and effect, forming a circuit or loop. The system can then be said to feed back into itself, with the process playing a crucial role in natural, social, and technological systems. It is generally classified into positive feedback, which amplifies changes, and negative feedback, which tends to stabilize or buffer a system.
