The network that learns without a planner

Mechanism

Shared interfaces and reusable artefacts allow a network to accumulate capability no participant owns alone.

Enabling conditions

  • Local experimentation is permitted
  • Evidence can travel between nodes

Failure modes

  • Learning remains local
  • Bad practice spreads without review

Early signals

  • • Experiments repeat across sites
  • • Documents grow but workflows do not change

Countermeasures

  • • Capture evidence and conditions
  • • Encode review and forgetting triggers

Diagnostic questions

  1. 1.What makes a result reusable?
  2. 2.How is obsolete knowledge retired?
