The concept of "Integration of Feedback" is one of the creative process phenomena which plays a very important role in Hampden-Turner’s thinking. And, in the future, THAT concept was to become one of the fundamental structures which enabled the development and enhancement of remote viewing. It is frustrating not to be able anywhere to find a clear-cut definition of FEEDBACK, or the FEEDBACK LOOP, even in Hampden-Turner’s book. That everyone possesses knowledge of what feedback consists of seems to be taken for granted. Basically it means that if you do something, then you will experience a reaction or a response because of it. For example, if, not knowing any better, you touch a hot stove you will get burned. Thereafter, the knowledge that you will get burned by touching a hot stove is the integrated feedback loop now installed in your awareness and thinking processes. In other words, by experiencing something and by being certain what the result is, we have integrated the feedback into what is also referred to as a "learned AND accurate response." Basically, we all learn by experiencing feedback. We learn what’s right or wrong by the responses of phenomena we experience as feedback. In all probability, we learn nothing if no feedback is experienced or available. I now invite you to remember this feedback thing throughout the rest of this book.
