Influences are directed relations between two quantities, and are either positive or negative. Influences are the cause of change within a model, and are therefore said to model processes. Depending on the magnitude of the source quantity and the type of influence, the derivative of the target quantity either increases or decreases. An influence I+(Q2,Q1) causes the quantity Q2 to increase if Q1 is positive, decrease if it is negative, and remain stable when it is zero (assuming there are no other causal dependencies on Q2). For an influence I- this is just the opposite. Influences are also referred to as direct influences.
