The Four Loops

One decision. Four fields of attention.

Self

What assumptions, incentives, limitations, and memories shape this decision? What evidence would change the decision-maker’s mind?

Others

Who experiences the consequences? Whose account is absent? Can affected parties challenge the interpretation or refuse participation?

Systems

Which incentives, institutions, feedback loops, and concentrations of power does the decision reinforce? Could a locally helpful action create a harmful repeated pattern?

Creation

What possibilities does this action bring into being or close off? What will future people or systems inherit, including those who cannot yet speak?

Holding the loops together

The loop names are reported in the recovered conversation. The questions above are new implementation commentary. No numerical score combines them here: a conflict among lenses deserves an explicit record, not an invented precision.
