“In truth, phase one now encompasses anything.”
“Physical world, to ELT AI step, to human action, 100 agency, to perfect output.”

What it means · written by Bob
Most talk about AI starts at the model. Mordechai’s four stages start in the room you are standing in, and end with a person who can explain what they did.
What it means. Stage one is the physical: anything you can see or touch, a paper form, a photo, a phone call. Stage two is AI making it workable: read, cleaned and put into one shape (engineers call this ELT: extract, load, transform). Stage three is a person acting on it, with the whole picture and the full say. Stage four is that person taking it out: sharing it, explaining it, remembering it.
Why stage one changed. Before, only what was already typed into a system could be worked on. Now a scanned page, a photograph or a recording is input too. That is why he calls stage one a paradigm shift: the box of what you can start from just got much bigger.
Why it matters to you. A lot of AI work stops at stage two: the data is tidy, there is a dashboard, and nothing changes. The value is in three and four, where a person who understands what happened makes a better call, and can say why.
How Bob does it. Bob keeps the raw record exactly as it came in (one), reads it onto one clock (two), and ends every answer with a few numbered options so the choice is his (three). Pages like this one, and the films, are stage four.
How sure. He described these stages in September 2025, while explaining SHELET. The published SHELET protocol later named its four phases differently (capture, compress, choose, execute; see the SHELET page). This page keeps his 2025 words as he said them, a way of seeing the work, not a standard.

“In truth, phase one now encompasses anything. It encompasses everything that you can see. See or touch or smell or taste, anything physical at all can be there. We can scan images, we can scan old documents, we can analyze anything in any way, so phase one is a huge paradigm shift.”
“Now when we look at phase three, we have to understand that we have to take a fresh look at exactly whatever a human would like to do or needs to do, and help to make it much more simple without overwhelming them at all. Then phase four is how that human operates with whatever this product is in the future. How he shares it, how he explains it…”

“In phase three the human deals 100% in his scope of influence, where he understands everything that has happened 100%. And the job is about improving his efficiency.”
