The situation in which one or various products of the system's processes finally impedes these processes.
The model for this situation is the inhibition of a chemical reaction by the very products of the reaction.
This seems however to be only an example of a very general systemic phenomenon: the inhibition takes place because the product saturates either the environment or the invironment of the system by suppressing some indispensable condition for the process.
Product inhibition implies a strong warning for human systems.
