Without feedback, we shrivel into routines and develop hard shells that keep newness out. We don't survive for long. Feedback is self-generated. An individual or system notices whatever they determine is important for them. They ignore everything else.
Feedback depends on context.
The critical information is being generated right now. What an individual or system chooses to notice will change depending on the past, the present, and the future. Looking for information only within rigid categories leads to blindness, which is also dangerous. New and surprising information can get in. The boundaries are permeable.
