Six-Loop Questioning
Daily Compounding · Record, Think, Ask, Act, Review, Transform
Start with one real experience. Use the six prompts to record what happened, examine assumptions, and sharpen a question. You decide how to act and what the feedback supports. Each loop includes a question you can practice with right away.
START WITH AN EVERYDAY RECORD
An experience worth recording can hold a question worth asking.
Keep your own account first. Separate what happened, how it felt, and how you interpret it. You can also begin with an existing question, a planned action, or feedback from something you tried. Move forward or return to a loop when you need more information.
A thinking compass
Awareness
Metacognition
Trace how you reached a judgment and when your understanding changed.Evidence
Critical thinking
Check sources, test assumptions, and look for counterexamples.Action
Action and responsibility
Test a small step and decide how you will judge its result.QUWEI YE’S SIX-LOOP QUESTIONING FRAMEWORK
Carry real experience into the next practice
The loops can be revisited. If you simply want to make a record, stop there. If you have acted and results are still pending, keep the case open.
Record
Capture a real situation
Preserve the original account and separate facts, feelings, interpretations, and open claims.Think
Examine goals and assumptions
Notice the grounds for your judgment and consider alternative explanations.Ask
Find the question worth pursuing
Choose the question that matters and confirm it in your own words.Act
Design a small test
State the expectation, observation, and acceptance criteria before recording what you actually did.Review
Revise in light of feedback
Compare expectations with outcomes. Separate observations, explanations, and open questions.Transform
Test what you can transfer
Describe the method and its limits, then try and revise it in a new situation.WEB PRACTICE · ENTER AT ANY LOOP
Bring one experience and work through it

Which experience would you like to capture as it happened?
Keep your own account and distinguish facts, feelings, interpretations, and open claims. You can stop here if you only want to make a record.
Online AI follow-ups are pending activation. The guided loops are available now.

HUMAN–AI BOUNDARIES
You confirm the question and own the decision
AI can assist
- Organize accounts and separate facts from interpretations
- Compare question wordings and possible actions
- Flag judgments that need evidence
- Ask one follow-up when it adds value
You remain responsible
- Confirm what happened and how it felt
- Choose the question worth pursuing
- Take action and bring back real feedback
- Explain where the experience can transfer
Keep the first question, reasons for revising it, and real feedback in one case record.
