Oriented Change - What and Why | #42

We've said that leaning in to the humans in our systems leads us to locality pretty directly. We say "find the smallest easiest nearest change with detectable outcome and make it". But this gives us a puzzle: there are often a lot of such changes. How do we decide between them? The change-harvester's "oriented" says don't sweat it too much: turn to face your non-local goal, and grab any change that doesn't make it further away. Don't spend a lot of cycles deciding which change aims precisely, take anything that's not definitely wrong and do it. Goals that are outside what we can do in one step -- non-local goals -- live out there on the horizon. The change-harvester orients herself towards the horizon, then acts, without much fuss. And that's what that word "oriented" means. Episode 42 is live!
