Following on from recent posts on the OODA loop and information warfare, lets examine the DIKW Hierarchy a little closer. As noted in Observations on Observability, Metrics are a key source of measurement data and are the base input into the Observe portion of the OODA loop but operating just on data does not lead […]

The Hilbert Curve in practice
In a previous post, I introduced the concept of space filling curves and the ability to take a high dimension space and reduce it to a low or 1 dimension space. I also showed the complexity in 2 dimensions and in 3 dimensions of the Hilbert Curve which I hope also provided an appreciation for […]
Observations on Observability
Introduction Col John Boyd developed the OODA loop (Observe-Orient-Decide-Act) as a decision making concept for use within military operations. Agility and the ability to rapidly iterate through the loop and through multiple iterations of the loop is consider a winning advantage in conflict. A stereotypical example of the ‘dogfight’ where the fighter pilot that ‘gets […]
