| Here lies the workings that produce a range of counterintuitive outcomes from system behaviour, including equifinality with associated problems of prediction and retrodiction of system trajectory. |
| In discussions of contingency theory, equifinality may be used to mean that there are several different fits that are all equally effective in the same situation. |
| Arguably, equifinality only exists where contingencies conflict by each requiring a different level of the same structural variable. |
| Interpreting this conclusion in terms of the equifinality concepts described, Ahnert is clearly suggesting that the range of possible models consistent with the field data is highly constrained. |
| A person is said to be operating toward the attainment of a goal when the person's behavior exhibits a certain constellation offeatures, including persistence, equifinality, and docility. |
| This paper explores a modified conceptual model of equifinality and applies it to an evolving landscape in south-central Chile. |
