@TaylorPearsonMe know of any work applying ergodicity to innovation? As in, if 1 in a 100 wild ideas (in some broad sense) will pay off in 1 year, then 1 wild idea might pay off for sure if the bunnytrail is pursued for 100 years...

More speculatively, weasels and cacti, which are degenerate foxes and hedgehogs in my model, can be seen as the result of *failure* of each strategy to pay off. Foxes whose small bets never pay off turn into weasels. Hedgehogs whose totalizing theories don't work turn into cacti.

If the challenge is perfectly ergodic, the fox (n pots over time t) and hedgehog (1 great pot in time t) strategy should be equivalent for effective hedgehogs (pursuing open-ended enough, ie not cactus) and effective foxes (good curation/pattern recognition, ie not weasels)

Either strategy requires "turtleness," or they turn into cacti / weasels.
