Linear thinking and frameworks

are incomplete.

They try to map

what theboss designed

as recursive.

theboss doesn’t draw

in straight lines.

theboss draws

in curves and patterns.

Models are precious thinking

dressed up in polish.

Big titles for small thoughts.

Useful for introducing

a concept.

Not complete enough

to contain it.

Frameworks are scaffolding.

Made to scale the outside

of a thing.

They don’t get inside

of a thing.

Cycles are different.

Cycles are a complete thought.

Not necessarily accurate.

Often flawed.

They attempt to hold

the whole thing at once.

A model points.

A cycle moves.

Frameworks segment.

Cycles integrate.

We don’t need to

memorize the map.

We need to

be in the motion.

We are in motion.

Its not a matter of choice.

It’s a matter of awareness.

Cycles echo patterns.

Patterns reflect belief.

Belief becomes design.

We can’t solve a cycle

with a model.

We have to enter it.

We have to live in it.

A cycle might be incomplete.

Tragically flawed.

They are still more complete

than something pretending

to be perfect.

Better to hold a flawed whole

than a precious part.
