Feedback Conductance
Coined by Dr. J Fraser, Ed.D.
Feedback Conductance holds that feedback changes a person only when three components hold at once. Signal quality: the feedback is accurate and specific. Transmission conditions: the feedback can travel from its source to its recipient without distortion. Integration capacity: the recipient can absorb the feedback and act on it. Conductance fails when any one component breaks. That is why feedback systems fail even when the feedback itself is good: a true signal that cannot travel, or lands where it cannot be absorbed, changes nothing.
The three components
- Signal quality
- the feedback is accurate and specific
- Transmission conditions
- the feedback travels from source to recipient without distortion
- Integration capacity
- the recipient can absorb the feedback and act on it
Where it lives on the platform
- FlowState Signal, the intelligence loop that reads every incoming signal for quality, transmission, and integration
- The feedback loops inside the Loop Series instruments
- Operational feedback conductance, one of the four measures of the spiral
