Organismic: How Could This Go Wrong?

An organismic system can go wrong in a few basic ways: how you gather the data—the hardware of your eyes or your proprioceptive nerves or your eardrums works less well; how you weave the data together; how you interpret that weaving (your system's idea of what's ok and what's not and how you react when you have maybe hit that threshold). Data collection. Data integration. Assessment. Strategies and tactics. All of this adds up to 'is this a learning system?' Does the feedback work? Have you learned from the past or are you stuck in the past? Are you nimble? Do you have enough different ways to solve a problem, or do you mostly fall back on a few habits?
