2012 - Summary/Objective
2013 -
201301 - Follow up ref SDS C7 0000, ref SDS C5 0000.
201302 -
201303 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Terry saying he received the letter,
201304 - ref DIP 7 0001 linked to the record of the meeting with Terry on
201305 - 011219. ref SDS C5 0001
201306 -
201307 - Terry reviewed action items for enabling a culture of knowledge in
201308 - education at Stanford, as explained in the record on 011219.
201309 - ref SDS C5 XE5F
201310 -
201311 - He cannot contriubte on the action items. ref DRT 1 RW7J
201312 -
201313 -    It is a very big step for Terry to have clicked on links when
201314 -    others have had difficulty with this threshold step to strengthen
201315 -    communication. On 980712 links were cited as potentially
201316 -    objectionable. ref SDS 28 5977  On 990712 this occurred in the
201317 -    record again. ref SDS 33 5837 and again on 991014. ref SDS 36 3066
201318 -
201319 -        [On 020108 Ron Buck Sr., had difficulty with links. ref SDS C8
201320 -        6P6I
201321 -
201322 -    Shows judicious review developed on 990419, ref SDS 31 3240, is
201323 -    effective for clear, concise, complete communication, developed on
201324 -    960620. ref SDS 20 1643
201325 -
201326 -     ..
201327 -    Terry says the Department of Management Science and Engineering,
201328 -    cited in the record on 011219, ref SDS C5 995K, has more overlap
201329 -    with SDS and Com Metrics. ref DRT 1 E57N

201338 - Terry,
201339 -
201340 - Thanks very much for timely response in your letter today, and for
201341 - considering a broader agenda to apply technology and cog science
201342 - beyond traditional aims of AI.
201343 -
201344 - Your willingness to click on a few links to expand understanding
201345 - beyond immediate information shows important progress, yet this
201346 - remains a big opportunity for using technology productively.  It is
201347 - not likely that computer science can advance on the big issues, if
201348 - little things are overlooked.  So I was pleased by your response
201349 - today.
201350 -
201351 - I spoke to Doug yesterday, and he was pleased you were able to make
201352 - time to hear about this advance.  Per your suggestion today, will
201353 - follow up with Elisabeth and others on prior related initiatives.
201354 - Naturally, success requires enabling forces, and so you can play a
201355 - vital role in two ways, if time permits....
201356 -
201357 - 1.  Simply being aware of, and a strong voice for, technology to
201358 -     advance human intelligence, as shown by your work the past 30
201359 -     years or so, and explained in POIMS for advancing basic
201360 -     literacy....

201363 -
201364 - 2.  Contributing to the dialog on, what you might consider, an
201365 -     intermediate goal for technology to augment intelligence, as Doug
201366 -     advocates, and as you and I reviewed on 011219.  One way is
201367 -     through articles in professional journals and events, and another
201368 -     is to encourage students to incorporate these ideas into future
201369 -     term papers, like the one by Andrew Dickson that explains
201370 -     challenges facing AI, noted in the record on 011219....

201373 -
201374 - Again, timely feedback and quoting directly from relevant text, as in
201375 - your letter today, show appreciation of fragility in human cognition
201376 - that requires support by technology in a new world order, including
201377 - notice of inability to directly contribute on action items.  These
201378 - are big steps on the management side of the ledger.
201379 -
201380 - Thanks again for your time.
