BK1594 -    The core problem to solve is managing complexity that increases
BK1595 -    exponentially, explained in POIMS. ref OF 1 0561  This degrades
BK1596 -    formal information systems and decision making toward entropy.
BK1597 -    Since the human mind buffers complexity, the dimensions of the
BK1598 -    problem are not evident day-to-day.  It is a secret until disaster
BK1599 -    strikes, explained on 000724. ref SDS 88 1144

BK1607 -    Today, Cliff explained mathematical modeling at LANL that supports
BK1608 -    the study by the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) showing
BK1609 -    this problem causes cost and delay to escalate on large programs,
BK1610 -    because information flows too fast, reported on 970707. ref SDS 4
BK1611 -    0108  Government is especially vulnerable because its endeavors
BK1612 -    must be large scale in order to meet the needs of a great nation.
BK1613 -    Bumbling that is bought off in the private sector rather than
BK1614 -    invest in proactive improvement called out by Doug in his 1992
BK1615 -    paper reviewed on 991222, ref SDS 12 1550, is too visible to cover
BK1616 -    up in high profile operations. So, there might be a chance that
BK1617 -    fixing information overload to reduce bumbling would foster a
BK1618 -    market for KM, rather than ignore, cover up, loss and conflict that
BK1619 -    occupies the attention of executives, who demand conversation so
BK1620 -    there is deniability to avoid accountability, rather than
BK1621 -    intelligence to avoid mistakes the require taking account, reported
BK1622 -    on 980405. ref SDS 7 5065.
BK1624 -     ..
BK1625 -    People fear accountability because they don't know how to fix the
BK1626 -    problem of handling daily working information, cited by Doug in his
BK1627 -    1972 paper, reviewed on 000327. ref SDS 23 3971  Cliff's work at
BK1628 -    LANL, and Doug's DKR, however, can fix meaning drift so there is

C31414 -    to eschew improving earnings, absent strong secrecy measures to
