4-box chart with a fancy central domain. Central area: Humans are not just important they are FOUNDATIONAL Top-left box: Complex (Probe-Sense-Respond) Enabling constraints HUMANS ARE ESSENTIAL Machines can't create meaning Top-right box: COMPLICATED (Sense-Analyse-Respond) Governing constraints HUMANS LEAD . MACHINES SUPPORT . Human expertise . Judgement & trade-offs . Context matters . Multiple "good practices" Machines assist analysis Lower left box: CHAOTIC (Act-Sense-Respond) No effective constraint HUMANS MUST ACT FIRST . Immediate action . Authority & responsibility . Moral judgement . Stabilise before analysis > Machines come later Lower-right box: Clear (Sense-Categorise-Respond) Fixed constraints BEST FOR MACHINES (Human oversight and input needed) . Automation . Rules & checklists . Repetition . Speed at scale > Machines dominate here Caption below: Machines excel in the Clear domain. Humans are indispensable everywhere else.
