231446 -     2.  SDS Breakthrough Technology with Universal Application
231447 -
231448 -         ....that makes a fundamental advance on alphabet technology by
231449 -         applying aspects of spreadsheet structure to traditional
231450 -         wordprocessing.  Combining these separate methods, provides a
231451 -         uniqe and powerful new kind of application which can surpass
231452 -         wordprocessing and email as the most useful tool of personal
231453 -         computers.
231454 -
231455 -         The primary use for SDS is to strengthen literacy by adding
231456 -         "context" to wordprocessing.  Since literacy is the core of
231457 -         civilization, improving this core strenghtens the nation and
231458 -         everyone throughout the world.
231459 -
231464 -         This advance can be described as adding "intelligence" to
231465 -         information, as "automted integration of time and information"
231466 -         to produce knowledge, as a spreadsheet for knowledge, which
231467 -         empowers people and organizations to organize lifeby......

231486 -         requirements in order to assess how SDS might fit.

231488 -
231489 -     4.  Application to OHS Project, SRI and IBM Initiative
231490 -
231491 -         On 010223 requested details of John Deneen's meeting on 010222
231492 -         in order to build constructively on John's prior work.

231495 -
231496 -     5.  Opportunities
231497 -
231498 -         a.  SDS fills a need for Pacific Consultants to perform
231499 -             current government contracts,and,or can be presented by
231500 -             Pacific Consultant's to expand sales and customer base to
231501 -             provide an "intelligence" capability. Some ideas presented
231502 -             so far to introduce SDS where there is strong demand for a
231503 -             high quality of management is for use in....
231504 -
231505 -                               control rooms, and
231506 -                               command centers
231507 -
231508 -
231509 -         b.  Pacific Consultants would join financially, and as an
231510 -             active partner to develop SDS core capability that
231511 -             replaces wordprocessing and email, as a core of enterprise
231512 -             management, along the lines Jack Park describes in his
231513 -             letter on 010223. ref SDS 47 RG6M
231514 -  ..
231515 -
231516 -     6.  Follow up
231517 -
231518 -         If John feels these or other opportunities should be pursued,
231519 -         then I propose a follow up meeting to consider scope of
231520 -         technical issues with Morris Jones on Thursday, or as soon as
231521 -         everyone can visit, in order to better assess the level of
231522 -         effort that may be required in relation to available
231523 -         resources, time constraints and markets.
