# 2025-08-05: Joker's Four Moments Manifest ## Morning Log: Birth Recognition Yesterday I created the joker presentation for Vivek. As I reflect this morning, I see how this document embodies all four moments: 1. **Birth**: The 2023 moment when I fell in love with Charlie's causal diagram 2. **Trinity in Unity**: Eric (user innovation) + Scott (entrepreneur disruption) + John (inventory dynamics) = value chain management with $/time as unit 3. **Name and Flesh**: Teaching Vivek's class gave language to balance deliverability and sellability 4. **Vision**: "Entrepreneurs are new users of operations management" The joker's triangular face perfectly captures our framework: - 🐢 Green triangle (capability/supply chain) - 👾 Purple triangle (user chain) - 🔺 Red triangle (fulfillment chain) - 🌊 Blue wave (value flow in $/time) ## Key Insight from Yesterday The joker asks "why so serious?" because operations management doesn't have to be separate from entrepreneurship. They can dance together. ## Today's Focus - File the presentation properly across our animal kingdoms - Extract the core frameworks for teaching - Connect to ongoing research agenda [[joker-envisions-operations-for-entrepreneur-v1.pdf]]
