060706 - with Adam Cheyer.  A quick look at Jack's paper on his program "The
060707 - Scholar's Companion" (TSC), ref SDS 0 4974, shows a powerful graphical
060708 - learning environment; found possible basis to combine binary views of
060709 - knowledge (graphics and text) into a useful composite capability.

140712 - We reviewed advantages of applying a core capability to increase
140713 - prospects for developing knowledge management beyond the present focus
140714 - to develop an XML Editor for email and related efforts.  Jack recalled
140715 - Eric Armstrong's concern about the need for a core KM capability in a

140722 - Later, on 000212 Eric cited a possible innovation that moves beyond
140723 - traditional views of knowledge as "documents." ref SDS 44 8960  So
140724 - far, however, Eric has not had enough time to think about applying
140725 - this "innovation" to create an effective "knowledge space," called out
140726 - in POIMS, ref OF 3 4662, and defined on 960620. ref SDS 16 3516
140728 -  ..
140729 - Today, Jack noted that "Knowledge Space" seems like a big idea.  We
140730 - discussed prospects for a breakthrough in knowledge management design,
140731 - previously shared with Doug on 000327, though at that time Doug seemed
140732 - not favorably impressed by this idea. ref SDS 66 9975
140734 -  ..
140735 - Marcello Hoffman, SRI's lead authority in the field, noted yesterday
140736 - that there are no knowledge management capabilities available, and no
140737 - standards. ref SDS 69 0713  There are a lot of people spending a lot
140738 - of money trying to create something useful, but this has proven
140739 - elusive, and so provides an opportunity to make a dramatic impact and
140740 - contribution, since POIMS describes a working system implemented by

290408 - discussions in January and February.  Jack noted today that he has
290409 - seen a lot of linking in SDS records which grows everyday connecting
290410 - correspondence, calls, and meetings at SRI on the OHS/DKR project.  He
290411 - noted that other people do not use linking like SDS does.  Jack
290412 - explained that engineers on the project feel XML can support linking
290413 - for OHS/DKR software, as discussed during the meeting yesterday at SRI
290414 - on 000330. ref SDS 69 5880  He is concerned that creating links
290415 - may take too much time.
290417 -  ..
290418 - Jack asked how SDS creates so many links?  Jack feels connections in
290419 - SDS records to precise locations verify accuracy and provide context
290420 - that helps make sense of complex problems.  He cited the record on

290451 - SDS does not use XML.  This might be considered to support display on
290452 - the Internet.
290454 -  ..
290455 - The first step constructing links is to find sources.  This is done in
290456 - a few seconds remembering the gist of the story with the diary
290457 - directly, or the subject index, explained in POIMS. ref OF 3 KH8J
290458 - Links are created instantly by pressing Enter or double clicking a
290459 - target line in the source, and the source is closed.  If the record is
290460 - needed again, people press Enter or click the new link.

290472 - DNA-like hierarchial and relational structures provide command and
290473 - control of the record, also explained on 890523. ref SDS 2 A25H
290474 - Command and control of the record reduces cognitive overhead creating
290475 - connected content, and sharing with others to make complexity an asset
290476 - rather than a liability. see POIMS, ref OF 3 1113

290486 - Jack commented that DKR capability contemplated by the project needs a
290487 - "backside."  He explained that this means organizing the record with
290488 - "data structures" to facilitate storing, finding, and retrieving
290489 - information.

290505 - and maintain subject indexing, and for sharing the record with others?
290507 -  ..
290508 - Sharing the record for collaboration and coordination of daily work is
290509 - a derivitive of Knowledge Space that takes essentially no time,
290510 - explained on 971021. ref SDS 18 X6TS
290512 -  ..
290513 - There are three pieces that help make Context Management fast and
290514 - easy...

290516 -      1.  Baseline subject (knowledge) structures - epistomology,
290517 -          taxonomy, etc.

290519 -          This provides some uniformity at a high level that supports
290520 -          sharing, i.e., collaboration.  Examples of natural, common
290521 -          control criteria for primary level of multi-level subject
290522 -          index are listed in the record on 960322. ref SDS 15 FG4M
290524 -           ..

290529 -      3.  Tools to replicate structures for alternate routing to
290530 -          represent multiple views.
290532 -  ..
290533 - The SDS record begins in 1988; records beginning in 1985 were lost by
290534 - computer backup problems.  On 970329, the US Army Corps of Engineers
290535 - reviewed SDS used for Communication Metrics and reported this method
290536 - provides effective intelligence support. ref DRP 2 6172
290538 -  ..
290539 - While we talked, Jack found the POIMS paper on the Internet,
290540 - ref OF 3 0001, and will comment. see below ref SDS 0 3905
290542 -  ..
290543 - Earlier today, sent Jack a letter directing attention to his letter on
290544 - 000221 explaining the importance of ontologies, which is closely
290545 - related to subject management, ref SDS 47 8044, and asked him to call.
290547 -  ..
290548 - In discussion today, explained two (2) requirements for technology to
290549 - advance from information to a culture of knowledge, as set out in
290550 - POIMS...

290555 -  ..
290556 - These factors make it practical to routinely find and connect
290557 - relationships for understanding and preserving cause and effect.
290558 - Time, context, and connections enable technology to aid "intelligence"
290559 - not as "artificial intelligence," but in a way that lifts, or
290560 - otherwise "augments" human cognitive capabilities by an order of
290561 - magnitude, see POIMS. ref OF 3 0561

290578 - objective to provide open source development on the many fronts he
290579 - feels need attention for solving world problems.
290581 -  ..
290582 - A predicate to making this practical is a capability that augments
290583 - basic human "intelligence." see POIMS. ref OF 3 0561  The key to
290584 - helping a lot of people, which is necessary to solve world problems,
290585 - is to provide a simple mechanism, albeit, counterintuitive, that turns
290586 - out to be very powerful, when applied regularly, like reading and
290587 - writing. see POIMS. ref OF 3 3742  On 950927 this idea was reviewed
290588 - with Intel, who was looking for ways to grow the market for PCs.

630808 -        POIMS, however, articulates one aspect of the time series issue
630809 -        that I had not given any consideration to [planning as a
630810 -        process of thinking.], ref OF 3 8535  Planning is a big
630811 -        artificial intelligence problem and much work has gone into

630826 -
630827 -        ...an interesting line along the border of causal and
630828 -        relational thinking.  Newtonian mechanics has taught us to
630829 -        think causally, and only now we are beginning to think
630830 -        relationally.  You appear to be plowing a path that brings the
630831 -        two together.  Qualitative Process Theory, the overriding
630832 -        paradigm I implemented in TSC tries to do this as well.  The

A10430 -     provides a powerful tool for learning by discovery.  We believe

A10432 -     that will support and animate game exercises, is an appropriate
A10433 -     vehicle by which we might encourage learning experiences for users

A10441 -     that lays foundations for human development. ref OF 2 0042

A10444 - Experience developing Scholar's Companion using XML for DocBook and
A10445 - other methods may provide helpful experience for advancing from

A10448 -  ..
A10449 - TSC concluding "graphically rich multiple user virtual environments
A10450 - grows knowledge," ref SDS 0 TU64, reflects mental architecture of
A10451 - intelligence.  People routinely get a lot of information everyday
A10452 - through sensory perception of visual and auditory faculties.  Review
A10453 - on 890523 suggests consideration of requirements for flexible
A10454 - structure illustrated by the "big picture." ref SDS 2 G14K
A10456 -  ..
A10457 - Nominally pictures provide effective learning for fixed constructs,
A10458 - and even sequences of constructs that impart causation, as in a movie.
A10460 -  ..
A10461 - This kind of learning, however, pales in comparison with the amount of
A10462 - inductive learning constructing implicit knowledge that occurs
A10463 - constantly from living daily life that accumulates a continuous stream
A10464 - of information which imparts impressions about cause and effect, noted
A10465 - on 890523. ref SDS 2 428F
A10467 -  ..
A10468 - Most of these connections are outside the conscious span of attention.
A10469 - These impressions build knowledge, wisdom and vision when correctly
A10470 - aligned to an experiential record; but, just as often yield "common
A10471 - sense" and "false knowledge," when meaning drift occurs. (see POIMS,
A10472 - ref OF 3 8316)  Knowledge from life experience, e.g., daily meetings,
A10473 - calls, email, accurate or not, overwhelms directed learning.
A10474 - Knowledge acquired through an isolated domain, for example,
A10475 - instruction at school, is ignored, or, at the very least, strongly
A10476 - competes for attention when it conflicts with the larger domain of
A10477 - life experience.  Campbell reviewed on 900303 notes that humans are
A10478 - "experience" machines, and so are generally driven over time to apply
A10479 - the greater weight of experience in deciding action. ref SDS 3 3002
A10481 -  ..
A10482 - POIMS suggests the ability to capture a greater share of daily
A10483 - experience, and process it with computer aided thinking, or, what
A10484 - might be called "intelligence," to add organization, analysis,
A10485 - alignment, summary and feedback (see POIMS, ref OF 3 0561) provides
A10486 - another avenue for knowledge growth that is, as yet, largely untapped,
A10487 - and so provides a significant target of opportunity of augmenting
A10488 - human capabilities, explained on 890523. ref SDS 2 UP4U

AJ1469 - per Geletner...
AJ1470 -
AJ1471 -      In the future... applications are secondary, operating systems
AJ1472 -      are invisible, the Net has transformed itself into the Swarm, and

AJ1483 -
AJ1484 -    I disagree that words and numbers will at any time become
AJ1485 -    unnecessary, since these utilities closely align with the human
AJ1486 -    mind's process of organically building larger understandings from
AJ1487 -    small meanings, i.e., growing knowledge.  To the extent that people
AJ1488 -    substitute pictures for analysis, their fortunes will suffer for
AJ1489 -    the reasons in the record on 940609. ref SDS 8 4238

AJ1491 - I agree the Internet adds urgency to the need for technology

AJ1553 - computers do not meaningfully support management. ref SDS 51 1248
AJ1554 - Eugene suggested at the meeting on 000324 that the Colloquium define
AJ1555 - "what" will improve productivity in order to get executives and others
AJ1556 - to use computers for daily management, and this be the focus of the
AJ1557 - DKR project. ref SDS 62 6036  On 000327 Doug Engelbart cited his 1972

AJ1572 - not familiar with "knowledge" tools, per se, per above. ref SDS 0 1568

AJ1577 -  ..
AJ1578 - Actually, "Lifestreams" may not be a bad subject for Jack's letter,
AJ1579 - since Geletner eventually gets around to selling his computer program
AJ1580 - to manage information, he says his...
AJ1581 -
AJ1582 -     ...company has commercial software, called Lifestreams.
AJ1583 -
AJ1584 -     Customers can walk up to any net-connected computer and tune in
AJ1585 -     stream-shaped proto-cyberbodies. ref OF 1 1325
AJ1587 -  ..
AJ1588 - There is no evident explanation in the article of how Lifestreams
AJ1589 - helps people manage information.
AJ1590 -
AJ1592 -  ..
AJ1593 - Geletner seems to argue that applications can be replaced by tunning
AJ1594 - in to a cyberbody using a "viewer" and a "calling card."  He feels the
AJ1595 - right application software shows up automatically. ref OF 1 6141
AJ1596 -
AJ1597 -      This seems like the network computer, teleputer, model that
AJ1598 -      substitutes a mainframe server for personal control.  On 000305
AJ1599 -      Xanadu proposes a single address for information, which seems to
AJ1600 -      call for the same mainframe model, ref SDS 52 0184, that was
