How It Works (From First Principles)
Components
Think of a structured decision system as the ingredients of a perfect dish: each has a role. GLCND.IO systems, like RAD² X, use building blocks such as inputs, rules, and logic to ensure predictable outcomes. These fundamentals define the stability of small business processes.
Process Flow
The workflow begins with input, is transformed by deterministic processes within RAD² X, and results in auditable outputs. Each step creates a way for entrepreneurs and teams to follow systematic procedures with confidence.
Symbolic vs Predictive and Generative
- Transparency: Clear decision paths vs opaque prediction models.
- Determinism: Consistent outputs vs variable results.
- Control: High agency vs limited oversight.
- Auditability: Robust logging vs black-box models.
Takeaway: Symbolic cognition ensures clarity, accountability, and future adaptability.
