How popular is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynefin_framework?

I've learned about it a few days ago and I realized that the boundaries it describes are very often by people without explicit references to it, and the correlations it implies (e.g. that need for reasoning from first principles is strongly correlated with problems that are not precisely specified). Now I wonder if everyone learnt about it and uses it (and I just didn't get the memo) or if there's a different source for these ideas.

The reason I noticed that is that I find some of the consequences of that view of the world weird and/or suboptimal for good modeling of the world. In particular, I like well-specified problems where you need to reason from first principles. Also, I see a tendency in the environments that deal with things that Cynefin marks as "complicated" to _not_ make it easy to reason from first principles (by not caring about making the relevant first principles easy to specify).

#cynefin #crypto (-adjacent, because cryptography is the area that seems to straddle complicated and complex) #ethics (well, if not that then what is the branch of philosophy that does the same to motivation that epistemology does to knowledge?)
