1710 -
171001 - Follow up ref SDS 39 0000, ref SDS 32 0000.
171002 -
171003 - Jack explains that Nexist is an OHS-like project.  OHS will improve
171004 - through facilitated evolution.  Consideration is needed for creating a
171005 - strong underlying technology that enables evolutionary growth for OHS
171006 - and other technologies.  Jack explains AI methods that may generate
171007 - opinions that improve human performance. ref SDS 0 MK4J

171404 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Jack commenting on the letter to Jiri
171405 - ref DIP 1 0001, linked to the record on 010821 answering Jiri's letter
171406 - asking for information on SDS and OHS. ref SDS 39 F45F
171407 -
171408 - A copy of ref DIP 1 0001 was sent to Jack, and so Jack is responding
171409 - to that copy.  Jack says in part....
171410 -
171411 -      I'm NOT doing an OHS project at sourceforge.  It's called Nexist
171412 -      -- used to be called jpOHS, but any use of the acronym OHS is to
171413 -      be avoided until OHS itself is constructed, and that will be
171414 -      under the guidance of Douglas Engelbart one way or another.
171415 -      Nexist is an engineering prototype platform intended to test
171416 -      various approaches to the design and implementation of
171417 -      OHS/DKR-like projects.  Perhaps some of the code in Nexist will
171418 -      find its way into an OHS, but that's for the future. ref DRT 1

391206 - Jack continues....
391207 -
391208 -      OHS will be the product of an evolutionary design process, and
391209 -      capable of evolving continuously as its users, environment, and
391210 -      so forth, themselves, evolve.  This is called co-evolution.  Doug
391211 -      likes to refer to it as "facilitated evolution" because, unlike
391212 -      pure Darwinian evolution, there are, indeed, guiding hands at
391213 -      work.  Biologists have been using the term "directed evolution"
391214 -      for some time now when they construct molecules for medicinal
391215 -      purposes and play a role in selection of those molecules that do
391216 -      best during testing. ref DRT 1 P67L
391217 -
391218 - Does this mean DKR has been dropped?
391219 -
391220 - There has not been any discussion about DKR in recent months.
391221 -
391222 - All products result from evolutionary design.  Co-evolution is endemic
391223 - to life.  People evolve with other plants and animals. Families evolve
391224 - with other people.  Buildings evolve with the people who use them for
391225 - different purposes over time.  Machines evolve with different parts
391226 - being added and improved.  Humans can intercede in some aspects of
391227 - evolution, and much is random chance.
391228 -
391229 - Co-evolution of technology along with education for a culture of
391230 - knowledge that creates new work role to implement KM was proposed in a
391231 - letter on 000920 to the OHS/DKR team. ref SDS 12 DH5K  On 000922 Jack
391232 - seemed to concur. ref SDS 13 W93D  Doug's OHS Launch Plan issued on
391233 - 001025 supports co-evolution of a new work role. ref SDS 15 C9WP
391234 -
391235 - Background on efforts to co-evolve education is in the record on
391236 - 010811. ref SDS 38 R36K
391237 -
391238 - Moreover, evolution occurs in stops and starts based on finding
391239 - stable, successful combinations of ingredients.  "Ingredients" have
391240 - varying degrees of stability over time.  Atoms and molecules are the
391241 - ingredients of life that evolve in different combinations to yield
391242 - different life forms with stable designs, e.g., human life.
391243 -
391244 - Thus, evolution is endemic to life.  It cannot be avoided, only
391245 - facilitated.  The aim should be to formulate a combination of
391246 - ingredients that is useful to human biology for a long time span.
391247 -
391248 -
391249 - Issues are "pace" and "ends" based on stable building blocks.....
391250 -
391251 -     The "end" Doug proposes is a whole new way of thinking and working
391252 -     to meet the challenge of expanding complexity from a faster paced
391253 -     world, reviewed on 991222. ref SDS 6 3696

391262 -
391263 -     The record on 001219 lists steps for a new way of working that is
391264 -     different from tasks people perform using IT for knowledge work.
391265 -     These new steps strengthen "intelligence," ref SDS 20 QT6F, cited
391266 -     in a recent report from DNRC on 010725, ref SDS 37 WJ7L, and
391267 -     previously explained in a report by USACE. ref DRP 5 6172
391268 -
391269 -
391270 -      ..
391271 -     Culture of Knowledge Needs Stability for New Way of Working
391272 -
391273 -     If evolution occurs too quickly, then no benefit is derived
391274 -     because there isn't enough time to implement anything to discover
391275 -     usefulness, with the result that productivity is not improved, per
391276 -     telecon with Doug Engelbart on 000327. ref SDS 7 8484
391277 -
391278 -     Alphabet technology is the underlying foundation for information
391279 -     to leverage mental biology in growing civilization.  A stable
391280 -     foundation enabled evolution to accelerate civilization for 2,000
391281 -     years, reported 991108. ref SDS 5 0844  Information technology
391282 -     culminates this evolution with information overload that impairs
391283 -     human mental biology, causing enterprise to implode, see NWO.
391284 -     ref OF 2 4925, because the pace of daily work is no longer well
391285 -     suited for traditional literacy. ref OF 2 2082  IT has created a
391286 -     world where too many people are having too many problems, causing
391287 -     productivity, earnings and stock prices to fall, reported on
391288 -     001207. ref SDS 18 V54M  See analysis on 950927 showing Internet
391289 -     "bought another round at the bar" of IT. ref SDS 2 464N
391290 -
391291 -     Moving forward with a new wave of evolution that Doug and others
391292 -     want requires moving beyond the limits of IT with a new paradigm:
391293 -     a culture of knowledge, see POIMS. ref OF 1 JE6L and ref OF 1 K84L
391294 -     This takes a stronger foundation than alphabet technology. SDS
391295 -     improves alphabet technology by integrating time with information,
391296 -     so that people can think and work from a higher plane of
391297 -     "knowledge" rather than from the present plane of "information
391298 -     technology," as explained in NWO. ref OF 2 23UN
391299 -
391300 -     Like the transition from orality to literacy, reviewed on 991108,
391301 -     SDS doesn't mean that IT goes away. ref SDS 5 4788  SDS provides a
391302 -     lever that makes IT and other technologies more powerful, see NWO.
391303 -     ref OF 2 5654   How can we establish a stabile public utility for
391304 -     knowledge, as the alphabet has done for information? see also on
391305 -     991108, ref SDS 5 OU9O
391306 -
391307 -     People are willing to work hard, but are not willing to change
391308 -     their way of working regularly.  So, if we are going to provide a
391309 -     new way of thinking and working, then it needs to be well thought
391310 -     out and tested to ensure that once adopted it can be relied upon
391311 -     for thousands of years, like alphabet technology.

581109 -      proposed by Jack in the record on 001025, ref SDS 15 LR6N)
581110 -      coupled with enhanced memory capability as evidenced in the SDS
581111 -      records, are the means by which the human performance is
581112 -      enhanced. ref DRT 1 TB8K
581113 -
581114 -   This aligns with Doug Engelbart's objective to augment human
581115 -   performance for handling complex problems, reported on 001114.
581116 -   ref SDS 16 SU3L
581117 -
581118 -   On 001220 research submitted by Paul Fernhout indicates that bias
581119 -   impacts AI software that strives to enhance human performance.
581120 -   ref SDS 21 J56G  This is a common ingredient of "opinions," which
581121 -   are common knowledge among opinion consumers, and so permits
581122 -   rational consideration for adjustment to align with personal biases.
581123 -   Would biases in opinions formed by AI capability be equally evident,
581124 -   so that appropriate adustment could be considered?
581125 -
581126 - What is an "opinion" in this context?
581127 -
581128 - "Opinions" could encompass knowledge of cause and effect, which
581129 - reflects human experience.  Opinions project understanding of cause
581130 - and effect to propose future action based on past experience.  People
581131 - form "opinions" from impressions in the subconscous mind about
581132 - patterns of chronologies for events bounded by common subject context.
581133 - Jack's letter on 000623 proposed an "engine" to process the record.
581134 - ref SDS 11 2915
581135 -
581136 - Historians aid opinion makers by capturing accurate records of events
581137 - showing cause and effect.
581138 -
581139 - "Opinion" determins links between references in SDS records, in a
581140 - bibliography, a legal brief, or merely citing a report or an article
581141 - in correspondence.
581142 -
581143 - The letter yesterday asked how "references" are determined in SDS?
581144 - ref SDS 39 S18K  Opinions are belief in rules or paradigms from
581145 - understanding chronology of cause and effect based on subject context.
581146 - We would not create a link, if there was not an opinion that another
581147 - matter was related.  The most notable relationship is causal, either
581148 - weak or strong.  Thus, links are "opinions" about causation.
581149 -
581150 - On 001130 Jack proposed improving SDS by creating links and
581151 - constructing subjects automatically. ref SDS 17 0001  At that time, a
581152 - number of variables for automatic linking were identified. ref SDS 17
