Meeting on Sandy's Technology CoreTalk

1410 -    ..
1411 - Summary/Objective
1412 -
141201 - Follow up ref SDS 49 0000, ref SDS 48 0000.
141202 -
141203 - Meeting per letter to Sandy, ref DIP 3 0001, and telecon on 000621.
141204 - ref SDS 49 5492
141205 -
141206 -     [On 000731 submitted the record to Sandy. ref SDS 53 0001
141207 -
141208 - Sandy commented that SDS records present discussions with the care and
141209 - rigor of legal depositions.  He feels this is a special talent that is
141210 - beyond the reach of others, and so limits the market for SDS.
141211 -
141212 - We did not review today "firepower" in SDS that makes it faster and
141213 - easier for people to generate useful intelligence, reported on 950204,
141214 - ref SDS 4 7499, and explained in the New World Order... ref OF 3 2536
141215 -
141216 - We reviewed the discussion with Morris earlier today, ref SDS 50 0001,
141217 - examining the record on 991108 that explains the "alphabetic mind" is
141218 - the core engine of knowledge that drives civilization.  It arose with
141219 - acceptance of alphabet technology about 400 BC. ref SDS 20 5628  SDS
141220 - is a new technology that enhances the "alphabetic mind" by augmenting
141221 - human intelligence.  It is too soon to speak of an "SDS mind,"
141222 - however, experience shows SDS improves human thought, saves time and
141223 - money, as reported by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. ref DRP 4 6172
141224 -
141225 -     [On 000716 Professor Joseph Ransdell reported that SDS records
141226 -     support the scientific process of inquiry that augments human
141227 -     intelligence by aiding understanding. ref SDS 51 0002
141228 -
141229 -     [On 000727 mathematics of SDS developed from research at Los
141230 -     Alamos National Lab in presentation at SRI. ref SDS 52 3960
141231 -
141232 - Sandy explained having developed a stronger architecture for computers
141233 - over the past 12 years or so.
141234 -
141235 - He described this as getting down to the "metal" using his ability to
141236 - conceptualize systems and structure.  An example was cited of having
141237 - identified an innovative design for technology while resting in a hot
141238 - tub.  His early work seemed to provide an effective solution in the
141239 - medical field.
141240 -
141241 - He related having decided to explain his business plan in terms of XML
141242 - because it is a new fad that has the attention of investors, like
141243 - DBMS, Palm Pilots, Newtons, Fax, etc., reported on 980226. ref SDS 10
141244 - 2146
141245 -
141246 - Sandy indicated the financial industry is a segment of the economy
141247 - attempting to use the Internet for business transactions, commonly
141248 - called e-business.  It has a natural structure that lends itself to
141249 - e-business for managing inventory of goods, services, costs and income
141250 - that flows from buying and selling.
141251 -
141252 - I explained my approach to Knowledge Management that adds structure,
141253 - similar to that used for financial transactions, for augmenting human
141254 - intelligence to improve management for traditional and e-business, by
141255 - improving handling of daily working information, explained in the
141256 - record on 000327. ref SDS 27 3971
141257 - ..
141258 - Sandy showed his technology.
141259 -
141260 - His system uses three (3) computer monitors to show a broad display of
141261 - a graphical programming capability.  This seems like a powerful
141262 - advance.
141263 -
141264 - He feels this graphical programming capability can create and maintain
141265 - computer programs for e-business faster and easier.  This can reduce
141266 - costs and save time.  Sandy reasons that e-business requires a lot of
141267 - new software applications to implement XML for financial transactions.
141268 - This seems like a sensible expectation justified by the history of the
141269 - Interent.  Sandy further anticipates that the demand for a lot of new
141270 - software will create demand for his graphical programming capability
141271 - in order to realize huge savings, since his system is faster and
141272 - easier than present programming methods.
141273 -
141274 - Sandy strongly noted that some programmers have difficulty giving up
141275 - existing programming methods, despite savings from using his system.
141276 -
141277 -    On 980307 Andy Grove notes that people, including engineers like to
141278 -    work on familiar things in familiar ways. ref SDS 11 3740
141279 -
141280 -    On 000614 Eric Armstrong reviewed SRI's ideas for improving
141281 -    software programming as the first component of a DKR. ref SDS 42
141282 -    1938
141283 -
141284 - This aligns with experience helping executives and managers transition
141285 - to SDS.  Executives in particular loathe change, according to Grove.
141286 - ref SDS 12 1660  Many prefer to buy off losses with sunshine profits,
141287 - and suffer the stress and agony of continual bumbling under present
141288 - methods, reported for example by Fortune on 990625, ref SDS 16 4914,
141289 - rather than add "intelligence" to their management practice. It takes
141290 - strong leadership to help people making a lot of money adopt better
141291 - methods, discussed on 990525. ref SDS 14 0966
141292 -
141293 - Sandy indicated plans to start the transition with training in high
141294 - school and universities, so that programmers have experience with his
141295 - system when they enter the work force.
141296 -
141297 - His graphical programming capability seems to run in a proprietary
141298 - operating environment.
141299 -
141300 - I asked about creating an SDS program using Sandy's system?  There
141301 - would be a learning curve to do this, but since I don't know any
141302 - programming languages, using his system should no more difficult that
141303 - learning something else, and if Sandy is correct, it might actually
141304 - take less time.  This might have security advantages, since a new
141305 - programming language will take longer to get the attention of people
141306 - causing havoc with viruses.  The engine of knowledge for Enterprise
141307 - Management needs protection.
141308 -
141309 - Sandy indicated it would be possible to create SDS with his system.
141310 -
141311 -    [On 001123 Sandy requests SDS functionality. ref SDS 54 0001
141312 -
141313 - I asked to see an example of an application he has created using his
141314 - system?
141315 - ..
141316 - Sandy advised there are no actual programs he can show today
141317 - that have been created using his system.  That is the next step in the
141318 - business plan.
141319 -
141320 -     He did not show a program or work product showing implementation
141321 -     of ideas for atomic data structures he submitted to the OHS/DKR
141322 -     team on 000425. ref SDS 29 0002
141323 -
141324 - Sandy indicated that if Morris joined CoreTalk, this would facilitate
141325 - fund raising because Morris has credibility among investors.
141326 -
141327 - Morris' experience at Chips, and initial work at Intel evaluating
141328 - submissions for funding of new ventures provides expertise on start-up
141329 - efforts.  His engineering and executive skills are a unique
141330 - combination.
141331 -
141332 - Sandy mentioned having a meeting with prospective investors on 000627,
141333 - and seemed to indicate there is interest in providing $45M to launch
141334 - CoreTalk.  This shows belief in the merits of CoreTalk and Sandy's
141335 - ability to make things happen.
141336 -
141337 - He is meeting with Morris again in about 2 weeks.
141338 -
141339 - I commented that Sandy's architecture skills might be helpful in
141340 - creating a stronger SDS program.
141341 -
141342 - Sandy seemed to concur.  He feels after he has CoreTalk up and
141343 - running, there would be time to consider SDS.
141344 -
141345 -    [On 001123 Sandy requests SDS functionality. ref SDS 54 0001
141346 -
141347 - I congratulated Sandy on progress inventing a graphical programming
141348 - capability, and encouraged focus on e-business as shown in his
141349 - business plan.
141350 -
141351 - Knowledge Management is difficult to accomplish shown by the record of
141352 - Doug Engelbart's seed team meeting at SRI the past few months.  On
141353 - 000615 the team announced they have not been able to understand the
141354 - requirements of KM in sufficient degree to formulate requirements for
141355 - computer tools. ref SDS 44 6271
141356 - ..
141357 - Sandy related his view that atomic data structures he has in
141358 - mind using advanced architectural ideas to implement XML and/or SGML
141359 - will accomplish Knowledge Management, per his letter to Doug's team on
141360 - 000424. ref SDS 29 0002 and ref SDS 29 3051
141361 -
141362 -    [On 001123 Sandy reports development of Clear Text that improves
141363 -    XML. ref SDS 54 4N6H
141364 -
141365 - I thanked Sandy for showing his system, and reviewing plans for
141366 - CoreTalk.  It sounds like an exciting opportunity to provide essential
141367 - enabling technology.
