Living AI and the OODA Loop: How World Models Mirror Natural Intelligence with Dan Mapes; Watch this clip from our latest No Way Out episode with Dan Mapes, President of the Spatial Web Foundation and Co-Founder of Verses AI. He unpacks "world models" – the revolutionary leap in AI, powered by the Free Energy Principle (why) and Active Inference (how). It's the shift from static LLMs to dynamic, living intelligence that mirrors nature's flow.

World models aren't just AI evolution – they're creative destruction in action, the explosive force behind sustained economic growth celebrated in the '25 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. Creative destruction occurs when new tech outcompetes the old, sparking a never-ending cycle that's creative (innovation) yet destructive (obsolete products lose value).

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Failing to update a world model – favoring current views over surprising or new information – leads to failure. Examples? Kodak, Blockbuster, BlackBerry, Sears. As world model-powered AI enters the 3D world, leaders and organizations clinging to linear, 2D approaches will become obsolete; natural intelligence informed AI will fuel the demand for the natural intelligence informed organization.

𝗣𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀: An organization’s adaptive strategy, informed by world models reflecting energy, affordances, and constraints found in the operating environment becomes a mental tapestry guiding changing intentions to harmonize and focus efforts. Gone are the days of alignment, mindsets, and starting with a clear goal in mind.

AI evolves from tool to collaborator, accelerating human-agent teaming – replacing Agile frameworks with team science focused on how teams work, not the way they work. True agility and safety emerge from interactions, value flows to the customers, decisions are distributed.

This is where John Boyd enters – his OODA loop began with Destruction and Creation (D&C) – his 𝘢𝘭𝘱𝘩𝘢 and 𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘨𝘢, the direct embodiment of creative destruction. D&C powers the OODA loop by dismantling rigid worldviews to forge adaptive ones, enabling survival and flow.

World models?

They're Boyd's Orientation reborn – a living noun (not verb!) built on the interplay of genetics, culture, and experience, fueling 3D/4D sensing, planning, prediction, perception, flow, and action.
