Just a technicality, but a "positive feedback loop" is probably the very thing that you might want to avoid.

Ya, suboptimal phrasing.

I mean in contrast to a negative feedback loop. Socially, negative or positive denotes impact. Virtuous vs vicious cycles.

Suggestions for better phrases?


Nope, I've been scratching my head about those for a long time now, but haven't found anything better than adding a note wherever there might be a confusion... :/
