1. pre-reasoning, flailing, magical thinking, cargo-cult programming no mental model of how things work or what steps are relevant. no ability to detect correct outcomes.

2. process oriented reasoning "If I can complete each step in the how-to guide I have successfully completed the task." mental model is of conformity to established procedures. limited ability to detect correct outcomes besides confirming that procedure completed without error.

3. outcome oriented reasoning "does it work? ok good, we're done then." mental model is functional but not systematic. can detect correct outcomes within narrow constraints of correct. cannot improvise or generalize to better states of correctness.

4. systematic reasoning "what are we trying to accomplish here? does our system do that efficiently?" can reason about interactions between procedural steps. can abstract outcomes and reason about system-states instead of specific functional states. limited ability to improvise

5. meta-systemic "fluid" reasoning "what kinds of systems are best suited to this problem class?" can reason counter-factually (what do we NOT do effectively) about systems. sees outcomes as emergent of system interaction. improvisation as default stance.

6. No-system reasoning "do we even need to do this? what is the real problem?" able to reason about entire domain while also reasoning about specific problem instance. can detect misidentified problems, solving for the wrong thing. able to transcend limits of systematicity.
