In the OODA loop, you don’t usually get paid for the observe and orient work. So if you’re in OO-dominant mode for too long you’ll run out of money unless you have a lot of capital. Conversely hand-to-mouth existence is all DA, no OO. Capital (=PE) levels predict OO-dominance.

The way I remember it, Boyd said it was the faster hydraulic actuators on American A/C that allowed faster DA. Of course he did prioritize things like bubble canopies for OO. The F-16 is pure OODA.

Actuator speed affects OO too since you can compensate for poor visibility by reorienting for a better look before reorienting further for a better maneuver. I don’t think there’s a simple 1:1 hardware to mindware mapping

He had what parts of his model one got paid for?

By analogy to energy yes.

It’s not money but PE in planes is very close to money. The analogy is quite direct. Good OO = high visibility cockpit with light responsive controls.

I understand your point; I’m saying this analogy is yours, not his. :)
