Episode notes

Real-time quantitative data collection from multiple agents outperforms waiting for report writing due to human memory bias. Lessons learning should be continuous and real-time to mimic biological adaptive nature. Leveraging a human network enables faster decision-making by presenting infographics, collecting diverse interpretations, and building fitness landscapes to identify majority and minority viewpoints. This approach promotes real-time interpretive knowledge generation and response capability vs traditional codifying information databases, fostering cognitive diversity for timely insights in the face of crisis situations.
