Solve the general equation and all the specifics iterations are solved as well.

what kind of negative feedback?
The normal sort imposed by nature. i.e. "Fire Hot! Don't touch."

how can 'fathers' become relevant again?
In order to understand this, you must first understand how they came to be irrelevant.

I may have asked the question but the answer is for everyone. Please demonstrate your wisdom.
Yes, toss off a treatise on positive and negative feedbacks as applied to human nature and specifically involving the care and maintenance of familial structures in a predominately Christian based society with Capitalist financial underpinnings in fifteen minutes or so. Make it short and simple and don't use too many big words or complicated concepts. I'll get right on that.
The act of transferring information is in itself a feedback based system. In order to know what needs to be sent, one must know what the receiving party doesn't already have, and in this case, what the receiver needs to have is an understanding of the History of how things got the way they are, and where they went wrong.
I can put my finger on any number of points in history where things started going off the rails, what is relevant is greatly dependent upon what aspect one wants to concentrate on. The problem with this stuff is that it's all interconnected, and it must be understood in terms of all the cross connections between cause and effect.
As anyone who has ever troubleshot a system with feedback, the first thing you must do is to break the feedback loop and examine the state of the system under open loop conditions. In this context it means examining sections of history and society at a time.
But to get to the task at hand, the first thing to do is to realize that the norm of human instinct is patriarchy. When every child is born, the mother is the nurturer and the father is the force of will. This is why Monarchy has always been so popular throughout human history; because it is merely an extension of the familial norm into which everyone is born.
Humans prefer the STRONG LEADER form of government because they instinctively recognize it as normal. Now they also prefer a strong leader who is smart, but first and foremost, he must be STRONG. (Like a father.)
Gotta go. Will write more later.
