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.
