1613 - Summary/Objective
1614 -
161401 - Follow up ref SDS 28 0000, ref SDS 27 0000.
161402 -
161403 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 based on letter to DKR team on 001004
161404 - explaining challenge of finding a customer for KM, ref SDS 29 0001,
161405 - and letter to SRI on 001011 with an intiative to move KM forward.
161406 - ref SDS 30 0001  On 000925 letter to Cliff explained LANL can gain
161407 - experience using KM by letting a contract for Communication Metrics
161408 - services. ref SDS 28 0X8G
161409 -
161410 -     [On 001016 called and left message for Cliff. ref SDS 31 0001
161411 -
161412 - Would like Cliff to initiate a study and report on...
161413 -
161414 -    1.  Mathematics of meaning drift, developing equations to show the
161415 -        rate of decay in alignment, ref DIT 1 008L, and the rate of
161416 -        speading error that makes communication the biggest risk in
161417 -        enterprise, based on example of NASA on 991001. ref SDS 8 0001
161418 -
161419 -        Cite Tom Landauer's work reviewed on 960518. ref SDS 2 3734
161420 -
161421 -    2.  Mathematics can show show the acceleration of complexity in
161422 -        human events, ref DIT 1 00UW, which is largely buffered out of
161423 -        the conscious span of attention by the architecture of human
161424 -        cognition, see for example USACE report on 971008 showing
161425 -        subjects and links are much greater than people realize,
161426 -        ref SDS 6 1273, supported by seminal work in cognitive science
161427 -        reported on 990303. ref SDS 7 6120
161428 -
161429 -        Modeling can, also, show the ability of SDS to maintain
161430 -        alignment per the letter, ref DIP 4 0001 to Cliff on 000925...
161431 -
161432 -        a.  SDS is a core technology for knowledge work; there is no
161433 -            record showing another implementation can be developed, per
161434 -            telecon with Pat on 000829. ref SDS 25 YL9M
161435 -
161436 -        b.  Request Cliff set out some details on why SDS is a good
161437 -            design for KM tasks, discussed on 000713. ref SDS 13 4267
161438 -            Writing out SDS advantages will provide focus on the
161439 -            opportunity to use SDS.  This can help marketing and
161440 -            business planning, raising cash.
161441 -
161442 -    3.  Extend mathematical study of SDS Cliff presented at SRI on
161443 -        000727, ref SDS 18 3960, showing it adds alignment to
161444 -        communication that arrests meaning drift. ref DIT 1 6P9O
