The Tao of Boyd: How to Master the OODA Loop
When our circumstances change, we often fail to shift our perspective and instead continue to try to see the world as we feel it should be.

Ambiguity is central to Boyd’s vision . . . not something to be feared but something that is a given . . . We never have complete and perfect information. The best way to succeed is to revel in ambiguity . —Grant Hammond, The Mind of War: John Boyd and American Security
Brett & Kate McKay • The Tao of Boyd: How to Master the OODA Loop
We gotta get an image or picture in our head, which we call orientation. Then we have to make a decision as to what we’re going to do, and then implement the decision. . . . Then we look at the [resulting] action, plus our observation, and we drag in new data, new orientation, new decision, new action, ad infinitum. —John Boyd
