CYCLE OF OBSERVATION

there are certain conditions necessary for accurate observation. First is a means of perception whether by remote communication by various comm lines or by direct looking, feeling, experiencing. Second is an ideal of how the scene or area should be. Third is familiarity with how such scenes are when things are going well or poorly. Fourth is understanding plus-points or rightnesses when present. Fifth is knowing out-points when they appear. Sixth is rapid ability to analyze data. Seventh is the ability to analyze the situation. Eighth is the willingness to inspect more closely the area of outness. Then one has to have the knowledge and imagination necessary to handle. One could call the above the cycle of observation. If one calls handle number 9 it would be the cycle of control. WO PL 18 May 70)
