Analysis, Hypothesis and Synthesis

Orientation - Decision: of OODA; Analysis and Synthesis are a part of our orientation process; Hypothesis is a part of the decision process and often leads to a decision toward actions while the three processes through observation feeds data to orientation so that the triad of orient/decide can achieve its goals. 

In orientation we also have all the other influences of the loop such as those sense stimuli that coalesce into a feed to the decision process where our experiences, knowledge and understanding hypothesize toward a goal of synthesis of in improved loop. The orientation involves culture and traditions; what comes from genetics as influenced by what we absorb in family and groups; any new information generated and from our previous experiences that often dominate when doing the comparison to new information through analysis in the mind/brain. The more we process in the loop, the more we analyze then hypothesize and then synthesize the less we have to process data/stimulus to create procedural primal conditioned encoded lizard-like memories for actions. 

In this process we reduce, experience provides from data experienced over time, the need to use orientation and decision for appropriate actions. If we observe and the stimulus triggers the tapes we coded then that tape, dependent on levels of need, stress and survival requirements, clicks and whirr’s in the action sequence of the loop. 

Analysis: detailed examination of the elements or structure of something, typically as a basis for discussion or interpretation; the process of separating something into its constituent elements; 

Hypothesis: a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation; a proposition made as a basis for reasoning, without any assumption of its truth.

Synthesis: combination or composition, in particular the combination of ideas to form a theory or system; (in Hegelian philosophy) the final stage in the process of dialectical reasoning, in which a new idea resolves the conflict between thesis and antithesis.
