In epistemology, and more specifically, the sociology of knowledge, reflexivity refers to circular relationships between cause and effect, especially as embedded in human belief structures. A reflexive relationship is bidirectional with both the cause and the effect affecting one another in a relationship in which neither can be assigned as causes or effects. (more)

Brett & Kate McCay: The Tao of Boyd: How to Master the OODA Loop.Perhaps his (John Boyd's) most significant contribution to military strategy, though, came from a series of briefings he gave. In them, Boyd laid out a way of thinking about conflict that would revolutionize warfare around the world. (more)

OODA Versus RPD: Reconciling Models of Cognition and Conflict. I am sometimes asked about the relationship of the OODA Loop to Naturalistic Decision Making (NDM) in general and Gary Klein’s Recognition-Primed Decision (RPD) model in particular. Usually, the asker is a fan of all three searching for a way to integrate them into a unified theory of decision making. (more)

Ketamine, Depression, and the OODA Loop: How Ember Health Reorients the Patient Journey. Purpose can start as a conversation and grow into a clinic that saves lives. We sit down with Dr. Nico Grundmann and Tiffany Franke of Ember Health to explore how a marriage built on service turned into a patient‑centered model for IV ketamine that blends rigorous science, design thinking, and deep human care.

The uncertainty principle, also known as Heisenberg's indeterminacy principle, is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics. It states that there is a limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties, such as position and momentum, can be simultaneously known. In other words, the more accurately one property is measured, the less accurately the other property can be known. More formally, the uncertainty principle is any of a variety of mathematical inequalities asserting a fundamental limit to the product of the accuracy of certain related pairs of measurements on a quantum system, such as position, x, and momentum, p.[1] Such paired-variables are known as complementary variables or canonically conjugate variables. First introduced in 1927 by German physicist Werner Heisenberg... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle (more)

*Werner Karl Heisenberg (/ˈhaɪzənbɜːrɡ/;[1] German: [ˈvɛʁnɐ ˈhaɪzn̩bɛʁk] ⓘ; 5 December 1901 – 1 February 1976)[2] was a German theoretical physicist, one of the main pioneers of the theory of quantum mechanics and a principal scientist in the German nuclear power program during World War II... He is known for the uncertainty principle, which he published in 1927. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932 "for the creation of quantum mechanics". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Heisenberg
