Episode notes
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.
Entropy and Open Systems
- The second law of thermodynamics doesn't apply to human systems because they are open, not closed.
- Human systems change the cost of processing information and don't have the same entropy restrictions.
