Strategy Is a Loop, Not a Plan | Ragan McGill
Most strategies don't fail because they were wrong. They fail because the world moved and the strategy didn't. Here is how I combine John Boyd's OODA loop with Richard Rumelt's strategy kernel to build strategy that keeps learning.

Home - FLI Worldbuilding Contest
It is frequently practiced by creative writers and scriptwriters, providing the context and backdrop for stories that take place in future, fantasy or alternative realities. Worldbuilding is a tool that can help us explore possible futures for our own world. It helps us better understand what sorts of worlds we may find more or less desirable, and how we might get to there. World builds don’t always have to be grounded in reality, but for our worldbuilding contest we asked contestants to make their imagined worlds plausible and aspirational. To better understand the constraints and ground rules that were used for this contest, visit the Rules page prior to exploring the worlds.

Is open source r-selected?

Many Strategies Fail Because They’re Not Actually Strategies
Many strategy execution processes fail because “new strategies” are often not strategies at all. A real strategy involves a clear set of choices that define what the firm is going to do and what it’s not going to do. Many strategies fail to get implemented because they do not represent such a set of clear choices. And many so-called strategies are in fact goals. “We want to be the number one or number two in all the markets in which we operate” is one of those. It does not tell you what you are going to do; all it does is tell you what you hope the outcome will be. But you’ll still need a strategy to achieve it. Another reason why many implementation efforts fail is that executives see it as a pure top-down, two-step process: “The strategy is made; now we implement it.” That’s unlikely to work. A successful strategy execution process is seldom a one-way trickle-down cascade of decisions.

Critiques of World Models
Specifically, a World Model (WM) is a generative model that simulates the possibilities in diverse scenarios (e.g., physical world, mental world, social world, and evolutionary world). Operationally, a WM takes previous world state s𝑠sitalic_s and action a𝑎aitalic_a, and predicts or simulates the next world state s′superscript𝑠′s^{\prime}italic_s start_POSTSUPERSCRIPT ′ end_POSTSUPERSCRIPT through a transformation function, such as a conditional probability distribution:
