High-Reliability Organizing (HRO) and Abrupt Change from COVID 19: Failure of Scientific Rationality and Classical Logic

Abstract: Neonatologists built the science of classical logic. It was gaining life through the extension of neonatology to smaller forms of rationality and other logic systems."

Disaster Series: Elements of a Disaster

A disaster is an environmental disruption of medical care, a victim generator that disrupts the ability to treat multiple patients. Death can come from physiological, physical, social, or behavioral threats within the disaster environment. Legal or administrative definitions of disasters are necessary for out-of-area resource allocation. Topological dynamical systems describe the continuous transformations within the topological space of a disaster. A functional description of disasters focuses on the damage produced by the disaster rather than how the damage was caused. An ecological description underscores how damage creates a new environment within our familiar, formerly safe work environment. The disaster environment can have a latent effect on physiology in several ways. The disaster forms an embedded problem, an ill-structured problem embedded in the environment. We extend operations into disasters by developing capabilities rather than assessing risk.

High Reliability Organizing for (HRO) Disasters – Disaster Ecology and the Color of Noise

The frequencies of stochastic noise inherent to the environment can be described as colors. The various colors of noise refer to the disruptive potential of stochastic energy within the environment and its characteristics. The meaning of the type of noise lies in the unpredictability of events and the 'forcing functions' of energy. That is the strength of the environment to force a system or population to respond. For human activity, the color types correlate to problem characteristics such as leadership-line authority coupling, well-structured, ill-structured, and embedded problems. When the noise color changes, forcing functions and the types of problems also change, increasing characteristics necessary for adaptation or altering characteristics in unexpected ways through relaxed selection. The noise process applies equally to nursing homes, NICUs, and public safety and is independent of timescale or magnitude. We need not characterize normal environmental variation differently from catastrophes.

We find descriptions of common sense in the domains of anthropology, artificial intelligence, and psychiatry. This is the common sense for adaptation, a form of practical intelligence that better predicts success in everyday experiences, if not real-world survival. This common sense is experienced-based knowledge rather than rule-based. When unexpected situations occur, it supports continuous assessments and decisions to adjust to the conditions at hand. Overwhelmingly practical, common-sense deals with a concrete situation on its own terms. Common sense describes cultural knowledge and behaviors. Inquiry drives practical common sense.
