Systemarchetyp, bei dem eine unbeabsichtigte positive Rückkoppelung die Kontrolle einer Variable durch eine beabsichtigte negative Rückkoppelung verunmöglicht.

The composition here is that intended consequence (ic) loop is a balancing loop and the unintended consequence (uc) loop is a reinforcing loop. In this case the archetype consists of a balancing ic loop initiated in one sector of the organisation to control the magnitude of a problem. The reaction from another sector creates a reinforcing loop, resulting in a possible worsening of the problem, which gets more and more out of control.
