Episode notes
Complexity vs. Systems Thinking
- Complexity theory challenges causality and predictability, unlike systems thinking, which relies on feedback loops.
- Human complexity differs from other complex systems due to intelligence, intentionality, and symbolic language.
Anthropocomplexity
- Anthropocomplexity studies human systems, which are unique due to intelligence, intentionality, and symbolic language.
- It uses diverse fields like anthropology, cognitive science, and philosophy to understand human sensemaking.
Cynefin and OODA
- The Cynefin framework helps with orientation in the OODA loop, enabling more effective decision-making.
- A double-loop OODA model, with varying speeds, reflects different decision-making contexts.
