Binary Search Support and Appreciation
Dear Morris,
Thanks very much for your help improving intelligence support,
reported on March 3rd. Your ideas on
binary search yielded improvements to Context Management
that strengthen daily tasks finding critical details based on
situational awareness. Reducing the time by a
factor of 20:1 facilitates dynamic linking
that positions everything in the right
place at the right time for precsion access to organizational memory,
noted in
your letter on April 25, 2001.

By copy I am thanking
Gary Johnson
at Boeing for suggestions on testing, and, also,
Tim Bray
at Sun Microsystems for his excellent paper on binary search
methods, as further set out in the record on March 3.

On January 11, 2001
Pat Lincoln,
who heads up the Computer Science department
at SRI, worried about slow progress on tools for collaboration. Later, on May
17, 2001 Pat cited industry goals for
scalable knowledge. Thanks to you, to Gary, and to Tim we have taken
another step toward a culture of
knowledge, which you previously asked about on February 27, 1996.

Sincerely,
