-section on other ways to get inside opponent's loop, not just speed -- "more inconspicuously, more quickly, and with more irregularity" as Boyd said

 

this sounds interesting

-personal examples from video games: Stormgate and Friends vs. Friends

 

I want these

the OODA loop is not as linear as this model presents

I think the steps always go in order, but also there are many OODA loops running simultaneously

In the Observe step, one gathers information about the situation around them. In Boyd's original context of fighter aircraft operations, we can imagine a pilot looking out the canopy, checking instruments, listening to radio communications, etc.

Gotcha.  I'd assumed "observe" was more like "hear a crashing noise from the kitchen" -- a kinda-automatic process that triggers the person to re-take-things-in and re-orient.  Is that wrong?
