The Real OODA Loop Is Ecological: Optic Flow, Orientation & Constraints | John Flach, PhD
About this episode
Cognitive systems engineer John Flach discusses the ecological aspects of the OODA loop and perception in aviation.

The target that demands everything is different: the one holding a constant line of sight, fixed in your canopy while it grows. No relative motion, closing range.
