Competitors try to differentiate on salient dimensions.

  • Competitors try to differentiate on salient dimensions.
    • They fall into a strategic position and then the world reacts and forces them to be more of their strategy to differentiate and counter-position.
      • Decisions of cosmic microdust blown up into whole strategic galaxies as the universe expands.
    • That means that if one successful entity has a closed version, another player is likely to produce an open version.
    • The entity that chooses to be open is typically not the one that has a good chance of being the market leader with a closed system.
      • So typically not the first place competitor.
      • Or even the second-place competitor (who hopes to become first place).
      • The third-or-below entity is way more likely to pick to be open.
