120938 - Want to make three points....
120939 -
120940 -     1.  Experience on the DKR project the past few months shows it may
120941 -         be possible to provide a useful service using SDS to generate
120942 -         knowledge and ideas, track action items, and organize the
120943 -         record without a Communication Manager attending meetings, as
120944 -         set out in the record of our meeting on 000517. ref SDS 22 2537
120945 -
120946 -           [On 000603 discussed with Morris. ref SDS 29 2014
120947 -
120948 -     2.  Facilitating requires building on writings, including Eric's
120949 -         specs, ref DRP 8 0001, reviewed on 000505. ref SDS 13 0001
120950 -
120951 -     3.  Meaning of "knowledge" relative to information may be evident
120952 -         in part from comparing the...

120954 -         a.  Minutes for the meeting at SRI on 000518,

321306 -     4.  Common vision of knowledge management is impeded by lack of
321307 -         desire by successful technologists to learn scope and nuance
321308 -         of "knowledge" and "knowledge management," because they want
321309 -         to learn about technology and produce technology that seems to
321310 -         aid their current perspective about knowledge, which is too
321311 -         momemtary and cursory to reach beyond data and information
321312 -         management, as Morris noted on 990525. ref SDS 9 0966

321314 -             [On 000624 discussed again with Morris. ref SDS 31 HX9K

321317 -         effective technology based on research that supports a theory
321318 -         of knowledge, intelligence and information that reflects an
321319 -         architecture of human thought. ref OF 2 0561

321331 -             ..
321332 -         d.  Peirce's philosophy of semiotics recognizes
321333 -             awareness of the present comes from experience of the
321334 -             past, see review on 000515. ref SDS 20 5282  Thus,
321335 -             experience that stores chronologies of cause and effect
321336 -             (i. e., sequence) is the basis of human reasoning and
321337 -             logic. ref SDS 20 0784  On 900319 research in cognigive
321338 -             science supports this understanding. ref SDS 4 0702
321339 -
321340 -         AI engineers working on computer architecture to augment human
321341 -         intelligence, cited by Eric Armstrong's letter to the OHS/DKR
321342 -         team on 000423, ref SDS 11 5096, do not understand a theory of
321343 -         "knowledge" that can be readily translated into computer and
321344 -         software design.  In other words, architecture for AI software
321345 -         needs an architecture of human thought in order to develop KM,
321346 -         as seen from Eric Armstrong's letter to Jack Clark on 000503,
321347 -         ref SDS 12 5033, which he repeated during the meeting at Intel
321348 -         on 000517. ref SDS 22 5092
321349 -         ..
321350 -         Since engineers just want to work on technology, as
321351 -         Morris pointed out on 990525, ref SDS 9 0966, this prevents
321352 -         progress on Knowledge Management, because they are in

321360 -
321361 -         On 990527 Morris cited strong cultural pressures that blind
321362 -         engineers from learning about the architecture of human
321363 -         thought. ref SDS 10 1233
321364 -
321365 -            [On 000920 explained tension of deferred rewards from
321366 -            knowledge that are croweded out by sole focus on immediate
321367 -            benefits of information. ref SDS 36 T33H
321368 -         ..
321369 -         We need an engineer who has grounding in the big picture
321370 -         and right now Morris is only person on the planet who has that
321371 -         asset, because he has been exposed to SDS for a long time,
321372 -         e.g., telecon on 890809, ref SDS 2 U87H, he has experience
321373 -         programming Medit for SDS, and he has been an executive long
321374 -         enough to discover the need for integrated support that
321375 -         enables proactive intelligence, ref DIT 1 EA6N, for example
321376 -         our telecon on 921127. ref SDS 5 0674

321393 -            other than intelligence for improving productivity,
