Using ‘Mental Models’ to Outthink the Enemy

Mental modeling....ok. I suppose this comes from the commander's mission of visualizing the battlefield. The operational inter play of factors of time, force, and space. The rational calculus forms their understanding of the environment (framing the problem) and really, it cognitively is not that different than the theory of constraints. First state the problem, make sure it is the right problem. Every problem boils down the to a handful of variables, in which you either have to overcome or subordinate your systems/processes to succeed. This article made it seem ethereal and at no time really discussed what those mental models were. Patton was great because he read Greek philosophy and Sherlock Holmes. PFC (Join to see)
