A feedback loop is a system where outputs are fed back into the system as inputs, increasing or decreasing effects.

Often feedback and self-correction leads to adjustments varying with differences between actual output and desired output.

 * Behavioral finance
 * Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
 * Cycle of poverty
 * Economics
 * Global Warming
 * Hyperinflation
 * Marketing

 * Prostate cancer

The term is at times overused, difficult to define, and can be a buzzword.
