Action phases

Actions have four phases.

  1. Propose: delineate the options on the table
  2. Decide: select the preferred option
  3. Execute: put the selected option into action
  4. Evaluate: analyze the impact of the executed action

These phases are cyclical. The Evaluate phase of one action often feeds into the Propose phase of a subsequent action.

These phases are also recursive. Each phase is itself composed of all four phases. Network actions are composed of actions by individual agents. And this is fractally true at many levels. Organizational actions are composed of actions taken by individuals, which are composed of actions taken by networks of neurons.
