# PracticeResponseReview

Guard against a recurring practice that keeps its form after it stops responding to anything

Layer: Mind · Category: Strategy

## Mechanism

A recurring practice, such as a meeting, a review or a check, records what it last changed because of what it observed. A practice that changed nothing over a stated number of cycles is reviewed. Unlike a [Loop](https://mindscape.pages.dev/bootstrap/Loop.md), which must change state between iterations, the test is whether the practice still reacts to its input.

## Invariants

- Each run of the practice records what, if anything, it changed in response to what it observed.
- A practice that changed nothing over the stated number of cycles is reviewed.

## Failure modes

- Ritual: the practice runs on schedule and responds to nothing.
- Change for show: trivial changes are made to appear responsive.
