[Dface] Discussion of Introduction to Theory of Constraints

Im looking at the evaporating cloud pdf from:

Grandchild of the “Usage” node :

Search the cloud for reasoning you’re suspicious of. Look for things that aren’t really necessary or required. Is there an alternative?

Whats a cloud? Should i keep reading to find out? Ive been reading from left to right.

Look for things that arent necessary or required? Is that like an extra detail that can be left out?

Alternative? I think should read prob read more to find out.
Grand grand child of “Usage” node:

Find a way one of the nodes could be changed. You can do this by acting to create a new situation or by changing your reasoning.

Changed? Oh i think this child node of “Usage” makes more sense:

Since everything is logically linked, and there’s a conflict, then there must be a logical error.

If there is a logical error in a node then change it? Idk im reading on ahead.

Child of “Tips” cloud:

The goal of the cloud is to represent people’s thoughts, not to be logically perfect. Write down what you actually believe that’s leading to the conflict.

Represent people’s thoughts? Including your thoughts in your own conflict?

Also not logically perfect? Logically perfect like making a truth table for Or(x,y)?

Grandchild of “Learning about Clouds” node:

Read Goldratt’s The Choice first, second or third. It’s non-fiction discussions with his daughter. It’s got more general-purpose philosophy for how to live and think, and less focus on business.

Do both novels “It’s Not Luck” and " The Goal" talk about clouds? Im reading the goal right now
