U
The component of a learning cycle defining which beliefs, rules, or structures may change. Constrained update spaces limit learning to symbolic recommendations rather than substantive change. Even with perfect evidence (wide Ω), institutions cannot learn if U is narrow—evidence accumulates but models remain unchanged.
An agency where U = procedural adjustments only cannot update its underlying models regardless of evidence quality. Expanding U to include procurement rules, risk allocation, and delivery models enables genuine learning.
