Battles. Why we need battles? We are moving from convergent class mode to divergent innovation class and we need to achieve diagram changes. In traditional class, we are taking key questions and solve them during class. But what divergent class? How can I teach concepts of machine learning in a innovative way?

We change convergent case studies which are unequivocally, factuality and convict avoidance to divergent case enactment which are equivocal ambiguity, counterfactuals and controlled conflict.

The goal of battle is to make questions not to draw conclusions. We are going to explore. Why do we do battles and how does this related to I&E?

Sense-making. What is sense making (weick)? It is tends to occur when the current state of the world, or when there is no obvious way to engage the world. Basically, see what has happened in the past and guess what will happen in the next according to assumptions. Sense-making is about what to do next. It is not about the truth and the story. “The pursuit of accuracy to get it right.” How does this relate to I&E?
