New Observations

Since the publication of OR-004, no immediate reactions from the known group of recipients have become known.

There is still no response from the organizational level that was originally addressed.

However, one personal and appreciative response has been received.

According to the current state of knowledge, it came from a person who did not appear to belong to the known group of recipients.

Open Models

Model A

Some participants understand the orientation reconstructions as a possible aid for improving orientation.

Model B

The publication of the reconstructions has, at least initially, made orientation more difficult rather than easier for some participants.

Model C

Returning to the original substantive issue may be more difficult than initially expected.

Model D

For some participants, the original issue has meanwhile lost much of its significance.

Current Orientation

The new observations change the existing model landscape only slightly.

They do, however, make it more apparent that the absence of new observations is itself part of the orientation process.

The current situation remains compatible with several competing models.

None of the observations available so far is sufficient to clearly confirm or rule out any of them.

This further highlights the importance of maintaining a strict distinction between observations and models.

Which Observation Would Be Most Helpful Now?

Evidence about

• whether the reconstructions have been read,
• how individual participants would currently describe their own orientation,
• and a response from the organizational level that was originally addressed.

It would also be helpful to better understand the considerations behind the chosen group of recipients.

Preliminary Status

The reconstruction is increasingly becoming an experiment in how orientation develops under conditions of incomplete observation.

Orientation is shaped not only by new information.

The absence of expected observations also expands the space of possible models.

Further developments remain open.
