Good synthesis, Jason. I got pulled into your non-linear model of innovation presentation. Reminds me of John Boyd's Conceptual Spiral. He was a fighter pilot and father of F16, so he comes at innovation and progress from angle of survival and conflict, but I think you'll find it interesting:

Yes, the OODA loop! Very important concept

OODA is deceptively simple, but actually very complex and often misinterpreted. I realized I didn't actually understand it until I watched Chuck Spinney's 2h+ presentation of what Boyd meant (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdK4y6O-llE). Boyd's a deep dive, but worth every effort.
