0907 - Summary/Objective
0908 -
090801 - Follow up ref SDS 36 0000, ref SDS 35 0000.
090802 -
090803 - Received received ref DRT 1 0001 from Bernie responding to my letter
090804 - yesterday, ref DIP 5 0001
090805 -
090806 - Bernie mentions Fascinations...
090807 -
090808 -      ...I think you're very close to technography, or that
090809 -      technography would be a short jump for you. in other words,
090810 -      there's a likemindedness, a paralleling of insights that
090811 -      intrigues me. ref DRT 1 0001
090812 -
090813 -         It would help for Bernie to provide examples of work product
090814 -         or otherwise explain the commonality he sees.
090815 -
090816 -      ... interested in how you use hypertext so casually, even in your
090817 -      letters, and it makes me wonder how you manage all those
090818 -      hypertext letters you must have created.
090819 -
090820 -
090821 - SDS capability to make the Interent an easily accessible utility,
090822 - i.e., an extension of human thinking, is a big part of Knowledge
090823 - Management, needed for a DKR objective.  The goal is to convert most
090824 - everything into hypertext, so that connections of cause and effect
090825 - can be generated.
090826 -
090827 -
090828 - Bernie cites Difficulties...
090829 -
090830 -      ...there's a LOT to read. too much. especially with all the
090831 -      links. the writing itself is dense. the jargon, ubiquitous. the
090832 -      format, though wonderfully legible, adds to the feeling of
090833 -      density. ref DRT 1 5092
090834 -
090835 -         The record on 000120 explains why the writing and links are
090836 -         dense, based on the definition of "intelligence." ref SDS 34
090837 -         2856
090838 -
090839 -      ...reference to the Welch system it seems self-promotional, which
090840 -      raises filters and closes doors rather, creating for me something
090841 -      else I have to learn to go through.
090842 -
090843 - The discussion with Doub Engelbart on 991222 disclosed his objective
090844 - to promote his ideas on knowledge management within the CODIAK
090845 - framework for a DKR. ref SDS 26 3977
090846 -
090847 - He indicated the Welch work parallels his objectives in some respects,
090848 - so I am contributing in the Colloquium to explore for synergy to
090849 - achieve common goals.  This requires promoting ideas and methods that
090850 - seem to be effective based on considerable experience, as reported by
090851 - the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. ref DRP 10 6172
090852 -
090853 - Understanding knowledge management and practical ways for technology
090854 - to aid human intelligence, requires experience interacting with
090855 - examples of such capability.  I am providing that exposure.  Many
090856 - people will turn away and reject this path.  Some may come forward and
090857 - inquire about helping.  I think Doug is working toward this goal, and
090858 - so am I.

090860 -  ..
090861 - Bernie cites hopes for getting help on developing progress from
090862 - fascinations. ref DRT 1 8008
090863 -
090864 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 linked to this record indicating interest in
090865 - supporting Bernie's objective to make progress on fascinations.
090866 - Request example and/or explanation of Technography work product.
