Translation

We have a concrete experience

Something happens

We engage in reflective observation and create new connections

We watch and reflect

We generate abstract hypotheses

We think about it

We do active testing of hypotheses, have a new concrete experience and a new learning cycle ensues

As we move into action, something happens and the cycle begins again
