2307 - Summary/Objective
2308 -
230801 - Follow up ref SDS 40 0000, ref SDS 36 0000.
230802 -
230803 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Morris saying....
230804 -
230805 -   1.  Thanks for sharing his thoughts on 011129 on religion, SDS, etc.
230806 -       ref SDS 40 0001  Many people share Morris' feeling that
230807 -       cognitive science is too remote for practical application.
230808 -       ref SDS 40 VZ6O  Of course, we can make progress on SDS without
230809 -       mentioning cognitive science, per se, but discussion beyond data
230810 -       and information seems to conflict with religious perspectives.
230811 -       ref DIT 1 0001
230812 -
230813 -   2.  Obviously, we did not start out in 1983 thinking collaboration
230814 -       would lead to issues of knowledge, intelligence, communication
230815 -       and religion. ref DIT 1 L66H Things went well, enabling progress
230816 -       through trial and error, both in application and description.
230817 -       Morris pointed out on 950223 that 3x5 cards, using more
230818 -       secretaries, accountants help explain good memory evident in SDS
230819 -       records. ref SDS 8 9933
230820 -
230821 -   3.  POIMS incorporates these artifacts of traditional management
230822 -       into a broader picture, ref DIT 1 676O, for strengthening
230823 -       literacy by integrating time with alphabet technology,
230824 -       ref OF 1 3742, which provides a lever for lifting civilization.
230825 -       ref OF 1 K84L  Yet, as well, people prefer not to contemplate
230826 -       fundamentals, as others have learned, see the Legend of
230827 -       Prometheus, reviewed on 991108. ref SDS 21 5810
230828 -
230829 -   4.  It is fascinating and humbling how God deals such elusive hands:
230830 -       enabling enormous gifts to soar like an eagle; but, suddenly
230831 -       being grounded by expression of ideas. ref DIT 1 547M
230832 -
230833 -   5.  So, I apologize for asking you to advance ideas that are against
230834 -       your views, as I have this past year. It was not my intent to
230835 -       cause harm.  It has always seemed to me your are ideally suited
230836 -       for helping set out a formal architecture of SDS based on
230837 -       experience the past 20 years.  We have discussed details a
230838 -       thousand times, so much of it is familiar to you. ref DIT 1 PPUR
230839 -       Now, I see that reaching beyond the realm of data and
230840 -       information to foster a culture of knowledge presents difficult
230841 -       issues, discussed on 011129. ref SDS 40 VZ6O
230842 -
230843 -    [On 011207 received letter from Morris saying we discuss issues,
230844 -    and he does not take it personally. ref SDS 42 0001
230845 -
230846 -    [On 011207 notified Morris that issues of cognitive science, and
230847 -    anything beyond IT seem to founder. ref SDS 42 VR7I
230848 -
230849 -    [On 011208 alphabet technology causes a problem. ref SDS 43 BI6O
