- Inquiry-Change Learning Loop
- A model that exists and is committed to before the change, in a form specific enough to be embarrassed by an outcome. Change enacted where consequences are real and borne by the setting's occupants, not in a sandbox built to be discarded afterwards. Observation instrumented ahead of the change, so that the record functions as evidence rather than as retrospective justification. Revision that outlives the cycle — written into the model, the standard work, or the tuned parameters — rather than living only in the memory of whoever ran the pass. Two kinds of state carried in lockstep: the altered setting and the updated understanding, neither reset between passes. Warrant that accrues across passes, so no single cycle has to carry the whole inferential burden alone.
This sourceSpecifies measurement planned before the change and degree of belief accumulating across a sequence of cycles rather than within any single one.
