931704 -
931705 -       1.  "Knowledge" is largely an experiential record that organizes
931706 -           a continuous information stream over time into "stories,"
931707 -           also, "history" of lessons learned, paradigms, or general
931708 -           "rules of thumb," e.g., "been there done that," rather than
931709 -           applying formal, rigid rules of logic.  Reasoning flows from
931710 -           the weight of experience showing consistent sequences of
931711 -           cause and effect for similar context. ref SDS 40 5026

931716 -           compared with Bellinger's work reviewed on 000307, per Doug.

931720 -       2.  "Meaning" of information from meetings, calls and activity
931721 -           (e.g., driving a nail, car, ship, airplane; stitching a
931722 -           wound, playing ball or a piano; writing computer code or a
931723 -           poem) varies according to correlations with unique patterns
931724 -           of personal experience, particularly recent experience,
931725 -           ref SDS 40 3782; and requires constant effort to refine
931726 -           accuracy through feedback loops by aligning new information;
931727 -           despite which, complete accuracy is never achieved, per
931728 -           Peircy reviewed on 000515, making "truth" a moving target
931729 -           due to meaning drift. ref SDS 40 7380  Since the mind can
