Couple of additional things I think that are worth mentioning.
First, OODA is to me an ugly acronym. I know it’s what Boyd used, but some subsequent use has switched to NODA for Notice, Orient, Decide, Act so that each stage has its own unique starting letter. Unfortunately NODA doesn’t show up much in search results, but it is in use within business consulting and other fields as an alternative to OODA.
Second, you might be interested in my recent writing on the personal growth cycle, mainly the last section because I view personal growth, NODA, and other things as ones of many special cases of a more generic anti-entropic feedback mechanism we see pop up everywhere. I’m not sure how much I might write about that idea, but if you ever wondered why some people get so excited about Bayes around here it’s because it too is an instance of the same pattern, though one that is much more precise.
