1010 -
101001 - Follow up ref SDS 68 4078.
101002 -
101003 - Joe explains Peirce's work, and that semiotics treats logic and signs
101004 - which symbolize human thought. ref SDS 0 7216 Peirce focused on
101005 - experience, ref SDS 0 2200, and on science as a process of careful
101006 - inquiry, ref SDS 0 0785, which supports a core concept of SDS as an
101007 - engine of knowledge. ref SDS 0 0192 Joe cautions that "knowledge" and
101008 - "knowledge management" are "products" in the academic arena; he
101009 - suggests using something else for the "process" concept SDS supports.
101010 - ref SDS 0 2900 Tension between philosophers and scientists over these
101011 - differences might be bridged by the SDS design that integrates
101012 - products and process as alternate forms of knowledge. ref SDS 0 9240
101013 - Joe explains that science requires rigorous adherence to procedure
101014 - that establish accuracy and truth. SDS makes it faster, easier and
101015 - cheaper for everyone to use good practices for all knowledge work,
101016 - including formal science, which is otherwise impossible due to limited
101017 - span of attention. ref SDS 0 0785 Joe says the SDS process of
101018 - communication presents an ambitious theory of management that has
101019 - eluded discovery since the 17th century; he cautions to avoid getting
101020 - discouraged by resistance because culture takes time to absorb
101021 - improvements to the foundation of civilization. ref SDS 0 7838 Joe
101022 - retired from the university in May, and is now developing a
101023 - telecommunity to help more people discover and discuss Peirce's work.
101024 - ref SDS 0 5785 SDS can support this objective. SDS is difficult to
101025 - learn; however, Joe noticed that SDS records on the Internet provide a
101026 - self-reinforcing environment for learning about Knowledge Management
101027 - and Communication Metrics. ref SDS 0 0010 Joe should, also, consider
101028 - becoming involved in Doug Engelbart's DKR project which has similar
101029 - objectives. ref SDS 0 0660
101030 -
101031 - [On 000717 Joe reports progress learning about SDS, cautions
101032 - about resistance to business intelligence due to fear of
101033 - accountability. ref SDS 72 0001

101402 -
101403 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Joe dated 000715, and responding to my
101404 - letter, ref DIP 3 0001, sent on 000713, ref SDS 68 0616, asking Joe to
101405 - comment on SDS and Communication Metrics for implementing semiotics,
101406 - based on the concept of enhancing alphabet technology by integrating
101407 - time and information to provide Knowledge Management, ref DIP 3 8190,
101408 - and as shown in the record on 000713. ref SDS 68 4176
101410 - ..
101411 - My letter, also, sent a copy of the letter, ref DIP 1 9434, on 000624,
101412 - ref SDS 62 1534, asking about the role of "experience" for logical
101413 - thinking, based on the notion of chronology which gives meaning
101414 - through sequence that tends to establish cause and effect. This is
101415 - the advantage of "organization" that Bill DeHart identified in the
101416 - discussion on 000709. ref SDS 65 1784
101418 - ..
101419 - Joe does not seem to address the issue in this letter, but does so
101420 - somewhat in his second letter, per below. ref SDS 0 7216
101422 - ..
101423 - Joe does not directly discuss the opportunity for enhancing
101424 - alphabet technology. Below, he explains Peirce's semiotics
101425 - addressed human thought through signs, which seems like it might
101426 - relate to a notion of knowledge based in part on alphabet
101427 - technology, which in turn could be enhanced by integrating time.
101428 - ref SDS 0 7216
101430 - ..
101431 - Joe is interested in application of Peirce's ideas and might be able
101432 - to smooth the way on getting critical review of SDS to some extent,
101433 - which is requested in my letter to Joe. ref DIP 3 4402
101435 - ..

101437 - and respond today or by Monday, 000717. ref DRT 1 4757

101901 - Received ref DRT 2 0001 from Joe dated today, providing preliminary
101902 - comments on my letter to Joe. ref DIP 3 0001
101904 - ..
101905 - Joe says Peirce is primarily concerned with the nature of scientific
101906 - research. His work contributes to the logic of research. and with
101907 - making practical activity more intelligent generally. Joe further
101908 - notes that knowledge management requires -- perhaps IS -- a logic of
101909 - practice rather than a logic of research. ref DRT 2 9102
101911 - ..
101912 - Joe cautions against using logicians' methods for practical thinking.
101913 - Formal logical methodologies support purely theoretical reasoning, but
101914 - they rarely show any insight into the realities of practical reasoning
101915 - and its tasks. Joe says these methods tend toward fanaticism and
101916 - useless exaggeration. ref DRT 2 0081
101917 -
101918 - On 000212 IBIS logic methods proposed. ref SDS 32 9282
101920 - ..
101921 - On 000218 difficulties reported applying rigid rules applied using
101922 - IBIS. ref SDS 33 7050
101924 - ..
101925 - On 000614 DKR project proposes adopting formal logic processes
101926 - through IBIS. ref SDS 56 4939
101928 - ..
101929 - Peirce held that theoretical thinking must be grounded experientially,
101930 - while at the same time understanding that there is a real difference
101931 - between theoretical and practical thinking that must be respected or
101932 - else both theory and practice will suffer from corruption.
101934 - ..
101935 - Aligns with report on 991124 that Einstein held experience is the
101936 - basis of knowledge. ref SDS 24 3066
101938 - ..
101939 - Review on 000515 of Mary Keeler's paper seems to support Joe's
101940 - explanation of Peirce's reliance on experience as key indicator of
101941 - human reasoning. ref SDS 51 0042
101942 -
101944 - ..
101945 - Scientific Conclusions Unbounded by Time
101946 - Time Critical to Human Reasoning in Daily Life
101947 - SDS Integration of Time and Information Provides Engine of Knowledge
101948 -
101949 - Joe gives an example -- scientific research in its uncompromised
101950 - form has no deadlines which compel researchers to make a decision at a
101951 - given time about what to conclude. Acceptance either occurs or does
101952 - not occur of its own accord in virtue of experience or experientially
101953 - conditioned reflection on the subject matter in some way, directly or
101954 - indirectly. That is, the time must come when one just finds oneself
101955 - convinced enough that something which one thinks to be so or which is
101956 - claimed to be so really IS so to be willing to make use of that
101957 - conclusion as a premise or presupposition in one's own further
101958 - thinking about the subject-matter: it is the USE of that research
101959 - conclusion as a premise or presupposition that constitutes acceptance.
101960 - ref DRT 2 0663
101962 - ..
101963 - This scientific process basing conclusion on experience and only
101964 - after sufficient time for the weight of evidence becomes to
101965 - justify belief is reflected in the record on 000426 citing
101966 - experience indicating SDS is the only KM capability. ref SDS 44
101967 - 0480
101969 - ..
101970 - On 000106 people who lack availability of tools to track their
101971 - experience, feel disadvantaged, resulting in concerns that
101972 - conclusions are premature, and therefore reflect arrogance.
101973 - ref SDS 27 0877
101975 - ..
101976 - Joe notes that practical "conclusions" in daily life are based on
101977 - incomplete evidence because action must be taken in time to be
101978 - effective. Timeliness is a constant factor in daily life, whereas it
101979 - does not enter into the logic of research at all -- or it shouldn't --
101980 - ref DRT 2 2040
101982 - ..
101983 - Joe notes that efforts to augment human thinking strive to help make a
101984 - decision (arrive at a conclusion) in a timely way, which compromises
101985 - the assumption of truth; he cites the judicial process as an example.
101986 - This doesn't mean that truth is not important in practical affairs but
101987 - only that it factors into the process in a different way than it does
101988 - in research activity. ref DRT 2 0875

101993 - Science Applies Innate Mental Process of Growing Knowledge
101994 - Knowledge Management Provides Forum to Deploy Peirce's Semiotics
101995 -
101996 - Joe is interested in SDS for analysis of Peirce's ideas for a logic of
101997 - practice. ref DRT 2 0936
101998 -
101999 - This is the central issue in my letter to Joe, requesting comment
102000 - on the earlier to Mary Keeler, which expressly proposes that better
102001 - command experience provides an opportunity for improving reasoning.
102002 - ref DIP 1 6018
102004 - ..
102005 - Joe notes that Peirce conceived the logic of research as essentially
102006 - connected to practice, so that it is not a matter of adopting a theory
102007 - that requires adding the relationship to practice, since working out
102008 - that relationship was one of his central concerns in almost all of his
102009 - work. ref DRT 2 5840
102011 - ..
102012 - We are not trying to build something, per se, based on Peirce's
102013 - ideas, a la a "Peirce Knowledge Machine"; but, rather we are
102014 - looking to discover the underlying strength of SDS based on
102015 - alignment with Peirce's work, and that of others, e.g., the folks
102016 - who developed alphabet technology.
102018 - ..
102019 - The goal of SDS set out in POIMS technology is to lift the innate
102020 - capacity to think, remember and communicate. Therefore, if SDS can
102021 - be improved based on aspects of Peirce's work, or anyone's work, it
102022 - needs to be identified and analysed.
102024 - ..
102025 - Joe explains Peirce used "pragmatism" to stress the practical import
102026 - of theoretical ideas. ref DRT 2 3968
102028 - ..
102029 - Joe says Peirce was process, rather than product oriented, and cites
102030 - parenthetically having observed disagreement I have with colleagues on
102031 - the DKR team about knowledge management. Joe suggests the differences
102032 - are apparently rooted in this difference between process and product.
102033 - Peirce did not think of science as a body of achieved knowledge, a
102034 - collection of results, but rather as a form of life to which a
102035 - scientific researcher is committed... ref DRT 2 7548
102037 - ..
102038 - Communication Metrics needs references from the record that
102039 - illustrate important points. SDS provides a means to uniquely
102040 - position information in Knowledge Space so that it is easy to
102041 - provide references to orient observations. It would expedite review
102042 - for Joe to provide references in the record that show differences
102043 - with Doug's DKR team about knowledge management, understanding and
102044 - response is easier.
102045 -
102046 - [On 000719 letter to Joe mentions need for references to
102047 - expedite review and correction. ref SDS 75 3835
102049 - ..
102050 - SDS is designed to facilitate the underlying process for generating
102051 - knowledge, which might be called an intelligence process of plan,
102052 - perform report, explained in POIMS. ref OF 2 6649
102054 - ..
102055 - This makes SDS is an "engine" of knowledge.
102057 - ..
102058 - Joe concurs with analysis in the letter, ref DIP 3 1620, describing
102059 - "knowledge management" as mostly marketing hype, ref DRT 2 4617, like
102060 - data mining, business intelligence, reviewed on 980226. ref SDS 14
102061 - 2716
102062 -
102063 - KM is a fad in mainstream technology because practitioners have not
102064 - taken the trouble to distinguish it from any past efforts for using
102065 - technology to aid management, or more generally knowledge work, as
102066 - shown on 980226. ref SDS 14 2716

102076 - the other cognates of that term have... ref DRT 2 0384
102078 - ..
102079 - He indicates that universities sometimes use "knowledge" for referring
102080 - primarily to concern with expertise in the acquisition and sale of
102081 - intellectual property, at present patent rights but with a clear
102082 - movement in the direction of copyright as well. Joe draws attention
102083 - to how easily the idea of...
102085 - ..
102086 - knowledge management
102087 -
102088 -
102089 - ...can take on that meaning, where the management regards knowledge as
102090 - a commodity whose producers are to be managed in a profitable way --
102091 - hence the idea of the university as a knowledge factory -- not
102092 - knowledge management as an augmentation of intelligence, which is what
102093 - you are of course concerned with. ref DRT 2 4466
102095 - ..
102096 - There has been a lot of debate in the project about the meaning of
102097 - KM, from the first day of the Colloquium at Stanford, as later
102098 - reported on 000407. ref SDS 41 2805 KM seems to have been adopted
102099 - solely because it has name recognition among potential funding
102100 - sponsors, arising from commercial hype. On 000504 Doug Engelbart
102101 - related need to define knowledge; on 000518 this was taken up.
102102 - ref SDS 53 2808 Mary Keeler attended that meeting and provided
102103 - guidance. ref SDS 53 8439 On 000615 the team decided they did not
102104 - know enough about knowledge to create KM. ref SDS 57 6271

102145 - On the other hand, some people use "intellectual capital" to refer
102146 - to things like patents, copyrights, software code, song lyrics, a

260421 - Common sense, however, tells the scientist that the philosopher is

260429 - Joe points out that "knowledge" refers to static results of inquiry
260430 - whereas knowledge management entails a continuous process that
260431 - distinguishes between what is known and what is in question at a given
260432 - time, and, further, what is relevant but is not settled, with the
260433 - former providing the basis for continuity in the ongoing pursuit of

260501 - perform, report using a unique design that integrates time and
260502 - information. For convenience the process is called "intelligence."

260504 - a form of "product" that comprises a web of connections showing
260505 - cause and effect relative to objectives, i.e., context. This
260506 - product can be called "knowledge," but, it is not static. Rather
260507 - knowledge is under constant scrutiny from continual learning that
260508 - forms new connections from daily life experience that modify by

260534 - Action is the purpose of knowledge, i.e., guidance that sustains
260535 - life, so a key part of the SDS process is deciding what action to
260536 - take based on understanding what has transpired in relation to the
260537 - context of correlations and implications. This is supported by SDS

260551 - Joe reviews the scientific model of the inquiry process. The working
260552 - scientist rarely has occasion to talk about what he or she knows or
260553 - about what is known other than in a context in which there is some
260554 - question about what is being taken for granted in a given inquiry.

260556 - Com Metrics support for context discussed above. ref SDS 0 0192
260558 - ..
260559 - Anything taken for granted might be referred to as "known," but in
260560 - practice what that means is simply that it is presently taken for
260561 - granted and thus not worth much discussion, unless there is some
260562 - concrete reason for not taking it for granted. What is worth
260563 - discussing and thinking about is what is questionable. The inquirer
260564 - does not live in a world overtly structured by "knowledge", which
260565 - provides infrastructure for it but for that very reason is invisible,
260566 - as it were, but rather in a world which is overtly structured by
260567 - questions, ideas, things observed, and means or instruments of

511214 - Signs, for example, speech that uses arrangements of distinct sounds,
511215 - and the alphabet using various arrangements of pictures that represent
511216 - sounds, both comprise symbols which represent internal thoughts.
511217 - Meaning derives from the relation of signs to prior experience, which
511218 - gives rise to the need for "alignment." Thought becomes external,
511219 - i.e., public, when communicated through signs. Thus calling logic
511220 - "semiotic" was a kind of compact way of saying that thought is a
511221 - property of meaningful public entities, not a mysterious activity "in
511222 - the head" or even "in the nervous system". ref DRT 2 2014

511226 - expression that combines or integrates communication, meaning and
511227 - inference. ref SDS 68 4176 Since inference is related to logic,
511228 - and since logic entails relationships that impart meaning, which

651480 - Since communication is a big part of the cognitive process that

651482 - failure to formulate a theory of management with failure to grasp
651483 - communication as a process. Drucker's report that people have given

651485 - too difficult, reviewed on 931130, ref SDS 6 3851, supports Joe's view

651549 - Advances in fundamentals that lift civilization, like fire,
651550 - language, farming, alphabet, wheel, math, etc., are often simple,
651551 - but require a range of factors to align in order to disclose the
651552 - process and permit sufficient experience to recognize a new path,

670502 - Telecommunity Website to Promote Peirce's Philosophy
670503 -
670504 - Joe is creating a Peirce telecommunity using the listserver-based
670505 - forum and a website as the initial basis for building such a
670506 - community. Telecommunities don't just come into existence, or at least
670507 - not yet, they have to be developed. Of course there has to be a real
670508 - basis for it in people's interests -- one can't create it out of
670509 - nothing -- but it is quite clear that the basis for a vigorous
670510 - telecommunity focused around an interest in Peirce's ideas is there.
670511 - What is lacking is the initial organization work required in order to
670512 - give it enough unity for it to become autonomous. ref DRT 2 2052
670514 - ..
670515 - Experience creating and using SDS the past 15+ years, indicates
670516 - that the best way to build a data base of useful knowledge, here
670517 - on Peirce's philosophy, per above, ref SDS 0 5785, is to regularly
670518 - explain, occasions and in what manner, such ideas relate to daily
670519 - life. So, for example, if you attend a meeting, buy a car, read a
670520 - book, hear a news report, commentary, or a poem, discuss with
670521 - colleagues this or that, setting out how it relates to various
670522 - aspects of Peirce's philosophy will quickly begin to deepen
670523 - understanding, and expand application.
670524 -
670525 - [On 010114 example of SDS providing practical information to
670526 - solve problems that saves time and money. ref SDS 82 0001
670528 - ..
670529 - SDS is the only way to do this at the present time in an efficient
670530 - manner. But, you might be able to get started with MS Word or
670531 - other tools that widely available.
670533 - ..
670534 - Doug Engelbart's team at SRI proposes to create what they call an
670535 - Open Hyper-document system. They initially discussed that this
670536 - capability would support a Dynamic Knowledge Repository, which
670537 - likely would have had some SDS features to support your objective.
670538 - Getting it done has proven difficult for many people, as reported
670539 - on 000324. ref SDS 38 4877 There is a conceptual hurdle that
670540 - seems to block awareness of a useful design. Some authorities
670541 - call it a "Knowledge Management Dilemma," discussed on 000106.

670548 - SDS is hard to learn, kind of like the alphabet, although it is a
670549 - lot easier to generate and manage knowledge than other methods,
670550 - again like the alphabet. The ability to explore the record on the
670551 - web may make it easier by imparting the objective of the process,
670552 - just not sure.

670562 -
670563 - Joe retired from teaching at the end of May -- he still retains an
670564 - institutional base at the university as an emeritus professor -- and
670565 - now has, for the first time, enough free time to do the sort of
670566 - development work required. The department just hired a new chairman
670567 - who is coming in both with a computer of suitable power and a
670568 - full-time computer technician who will be employed directly by the
670569 - department. Joe expects these resources can maintain department
670570 - connections independent of the central academic computing people, who
670571 - have been so unreliable that Joe had to abandon some plans altogether
670572 - because he couldn't get an adequate technical base for it. The new
670573 - chairman seems sympathetic with Joe's plans.
670575 - ..
670576 - This is a powerful asset for development work, cited in the letter
670577 - to Doug's DKR team on 000317 for pilot testing KM capability, in
670578 - my case Com Metrics using SDS. ref SDS 37 0005
670580 - ..
670581 - Joe should have the opportunity to join Doug's DKR project, in a
670582 - similar role as Henry van Eyken, who is a senior person with
670583 - background in education, rather than technology. In Joe's case,
670584 - he brings direct expertise which the team needs, and is totally
670585 - missing, although individual team members do not yet fully
670586 - appreciate it, and so channeling Joe's contribution in a way that
670587 - is effective can be a challenge. Jack Park would likely be an
670588 - ideal compliment for integrating Joe's contribution into the
670589 - technical discussion, because Jack has a foot, or at least a few
670590 - toes outside technology, per se, as seen for example by his letter
670591 - on 000221 explaining the complexities of developing a useful
670592 - ontology. ref SDS 34 8044
670594 - ..
670595 - Additionally, or alternatively, Joe might consider thinking about
670596 - the SDS effort to establish a new management science of
670597 - Communication Metrics, based on POIMS technology. Joe's stature,
670598 - contacts and expertise to discuss in conferences and in writings
670599 - Welch ideas and tools, and correlation to traditional disciplines
670600 - and practices, e.g., Peirce, but others as well, can help grow
670601 - awareness of a new kind of capability: Knowledge Management.
670603 - ..
670604 - Joe wants to start this Fall to add interactive communicational
670605 - facilities to his website, and to integrate the listserver based
670606 - discussion forum with the website. Integration is intended to lay the
670607 - groundwork for a telecommunity bound together by a common relation to
670608 - the website as a resource. The binding of people and resources is
670609 - given in the fact that people using the resource will themselves be
670610 - functioning as part of the resources insofar as this involves mutual
670611 - communication with others who are using the resources, too. Indeed,
670612 - for some, the resources will probably consist wholly of the people
670613 - accessible there, rather than the documents, though the documents have
670614 - a grounding role to play, especially those by Peirce himself, which
670615 - provide his own rather special input into the ongoing intellectual
670616 - processes occurring there or in connection with it. ref DRT 2 2050
670618 - ..
670619 - Again, the only idea I have on building a web site that will
670620 - attract and hold people is to provide a means for people to
670621 - integrate what is on the web site with their daily lives, per
670622 - above. ref SDS 0 0660
670624 - ..
670625 - Any other situation will be short term.
670627 - ..
670628 - Joe can contact Doug Engelbart and the DKR team, who envision in
670629 - their expression of a Dynamic Knowledge Repository (DKR) something
670630 - along the lines that Joe wants to accomplish. Henry van Eyken
670631 - would be an excellent contact for Joe, another would be Jack Park.
