Nice link between Kaneman and shu-ha-ri, John, thanks for making that link for me. There’s another book I just read Wilingham’s http://www.amazon.com/Why-Dont-Students-Like-School/dp/0470279303 Why Don’t Students Like School: A Cognitive Scientist Answers Questions About How the Mind Works and What It Means for the Classroom : it gives a nice simple systems model that does similar things; I hadn’t connected them with Shu Ha Ri, but I think you’ve got it connected correctly

cheers – Alistair
