Close your feedback loops!

Indicators of quality of the feedback: how many steps are you thinking ahead, and does it loop back?

An OODA loop without the loop is bad.

Closing a feedback loop is about the ability to absorb disconfirming evidence from that loop.

A short feedback loop is better than a long feedback not-loop.

You have to have a series of nested loops, all of which close.

If any given loop doesn't close, you're in danger.

Long feedback loops with unclosed internal loops: you'll die before the long one loops back.

Short feedback loops with no surrounding long loops: you'll iterate into a corner or off a cliff.

N-ply thinking is multiple nested feedback loops at different scales.

Start with the smallest loop and keep on nesting longer ones on top.
