Don and Jeff, (01)
You certainly know more about the developments of the OODA loop
than I do. My main interest is its relationship to Peirce's cycle
of perception, reasoning, and action. The extension to social
interactions and process management brings in a much wider range
of issues. (02)

As soon as you bring in more than one individual, the number of
interactions, dependencies, and negotiations escalate. It becomes
a very different kind of cycle. (04)

That's the point I was trying to emphasize: Peirce noted that even
a single perception requires a kind of abduction. In my diagram of
Peirce's cycle (which I drew before I had heard of the OODA loop),
the time for each step can range from milliseconds to years: (06)

Note that one option for the abduction phase is labeled "Extracting."
That could extract a predefined pattern of a break turn that the pilot
had drilled into his brain. When the pilot has a few more milliseconds
to think, the abduction step could adapt a more complex pattern from
a previous encounter to the current situation. (08)

Boyd had started with the high-speed variant, and Peirce had started
with more leisurely research examples. But both were looking at the
process within a single individual. However, both of those cycles
can be generalized to collaborative endeavors. (010)
In any case, a diagram that fits on one slide can be useful for
a "big picture" overview. But the details have a nasty tendency
to mess up big pictures. (011)
