Feed Forward
Unfolding Interaction With Environment Unfolding Interaction With Environment Note how orientation shapes observation, shapes decision, shapes action, and in turn is shaped by the feedback and other phenomena coming into our sensing or observing window. From “The Essence of Winning and Losing,” John R. Boyd, January 1996.
