I’ve written about John Boyd’s OODA loop before (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) as a successful strategy for rapidly adjusting in ambiguous situations.
This is Boyd’s preferred diagram, which is more complicated than what is usually shown for OODA:
Brett and Kate McKay published an excellent article about the physics, thermodynamics, psychology, and philosophy underlying OODA. I recommend it for your reading pile.
OODA works well because of its strong foundations. Principles, bedrock stuff. Therefore OODA is fractal and broadly applicable.
These are excellent times to become good at OODA!
