371803 - The discussion today, supports recent information that creating and
371804 - using a connected record is a cultural challenge for many people.
371805 - Transformation from information to a culture of knowledge therefore
371806 - may benefit from some intermediate steps, generally embodied by the
371807 - notion of a 3-layer architecture.

371826 - the world of IT that makes documents look pretty, and the new
371827 - world of KM that converts information into useful knowledge
371828 - presents a technical, emotional and cultural gap to bridge, which

372222 - ..
372223 - 1st-layer Architecture People Work Exactly the Same, No Changes
372224 -
372225 - 1. Per the letter from Murray Altheim dated 020815, ref DRP 15
372226 - 0001, and reviewed above, ref SDS E1 UV6G, and responding to
372227 - Eric Armstrong's letter, ref DRP 16 0001, received today, and
372228 - within the meaning of this subject on the purpose of a DKR, and
372229 - how Jack's idea for a 3 layer architecture might be deployed to
372230 - help people strengthen management practice, the first layer of
372231 - the architecture contemplates that folks continue using
372232 - traditional information technologies for stream-of-conscious
372233 - communication, like wordprocessing, conversation, meetings,
372234 - calls and email, ref DIT 1 0001, which you and Murray feel that
372235 - people like to use, without adding a lot of links, because
372236 - everybody understands the context at the time, as shown in the
372237 - record today. ref SDS E2 PO4L This first layer of the 3-layer
372238 - architecture aligns with Andy Grove's experience at Intel where
372239 - he found that people like to work on familiar things in familiar
372240 - ways. ref SDS 51 3740
372241 -
372242 - [On 020820 sent copy to Tom Munnecke of the letter today,
372243 - ref DIT 1 0001, to Eric, Murray and the OHS/DKR group that
372244 - explains and illustrates 3-layer architecture. ref SDS E3
372245 - 0001

372248 - [On 020911 Tom has not had a chance to review the letter sent
372249 - today explaining a 3-layer architecture. ref SDS E5 0001
372251 - ..
372252 - [On 020905 Stuart Harrow at DCMA demonstrated that people can
372253 - learn to use explicit links in SDS work product in about 2
372254 - minutes, ref SDS E4 DAPW, and it is fast and easy to use this

372260 - in SDS are a novel solution. ref SDS E6 HH92
372262 - ..
372263 - 2. As a result, the issue is not whether to abandon a life-style
372264 - using spontaneous, stream-of-conscious communication in
372265 - meetings, calls and email, ref SDS E2 MA9G, which Murray and
372266 - Eric urge should be maintained, ref SDS E2 V66I and ref SDS E2
372267 - YR6F, but rather how to transform alphabet technology for
372268 - conventional literacy to lift the capacity to think, remember
372269 - and communicate, explained in POIMS, ref OF 1 3742, by capturing
372270 - a larger share of organizational memory and adding intelligence.
372271 - This requires an architecture for human cognition, see again
372272 - POIMS, ref OF 1 0367, that dynamically integrates time and
372273 - information to continually create, maintain and refine a
372274 - repository of knowledge, i.e., a DKR. ref DIT 1 NE3I
372275 -
372276 - [On 030512 2 worlds opposite incentives for printing that
372277 - avoids links, and online "paperless" material that requires
372278 - links, shows need for 3-layer architecture to transform from
372279 - information to knowledge management. ref SDS F0 M34F

372282 - Empower People to Invest a Few Seconds to Create a DKR
372283 -
372284 - Follow up ref SDS E1 3Q6J.
372285 -
372286 - 3. Envision for a moment that we have a DKR. How do we empower
372287 - people to invest a few seconds in layer 1 to create the resource
372288 - in layer 2, discussed in an earlier record today, ref SDS E2
372289 - 7H6J, that makes it fast and easy to create layer 3, so that
372290 - traditional activity in layer 1 is more productive, as we
372291 - discussed on 020530 for beginning the journey from information
372292 - to a culture of knowledge? ref SDS C9 Y89F What would light the
372293 - fire of imagination to transform a culture to a new way of
372294 - working that takes a few seconds to convert informtion into
372295 - knowledge for saving time and money, and solving world problems,
372296 - as you discussed on 000120? ref DIT 1 TG7H

372307 - in SDS are a novel solution. ref SDS E6 HH92
372309 - ..
372310 - 4. The 3-layer architecture calls for everybody to continue working
372311 - in about the same manner, with only a very slight adjustment
372312 - between existing practices and the 2nd-layer. There is no
372313 - learning curve, not even 20 minutes. This is a bridge to the
372314 - future, ref DIT 1 CH8H, that seems to be contemplated by Gary
372315 - Johnson in discussions about documents on 020730. ref SDS D9
372316 - 01GW
372317 -
372318 - [On 030512 2 worlds opposite incentives for printing that

372321 - information to knowledge management. ref SDS F0 M34F
372323 - ..
372324 - 5. Synergy between the three (3) layers lifts the quality of work
372325 - in the 1st-layer for getting things done on time and within
372326 - budget -- hopefully. ref DIT 1 4Y8I

372332 -
372333 - Follow up ref SDS E1 825F.
372334 -
372335 - 6. The second layer empowers everyone to draw on a connected
372336 - record, because someone is adding "intelligence" in layer 3 that
372337 - makes it fast and easy for people to pick and choose parts of
372338 - Knowledge Space to use in layer 1 for adding connections based
372339 - on whatever pops into the mind at the moment for creating layer
372340 - 2, as discussed on 020730. ref SDS D9 JJ5I Explicit links make
372341 - this faster and easier to accomplish within the time people have
372342 - available for stream-of-conscious communication. This layer
372343 - takes only a few seconds to empower people with ability to add
372344 - value to the DKR by making a few connections to save time and
372345 - money by reducing mistakes and increasing creativity from
372346 - strengthening understanding. ref DIT 1 WU6H

372368 -
372369 - Follow up ref SDS E1 I47G.
372370 -
372371 - 7. The third element is the DKR where there is an array of
372372 - Knowledge Space that has organization, analysis, alignment,
372373 - summary and feedback that refines accuracy through continual use
372374 - of the plan, perform, report "intelligence" cycle which enables
372375 - concurrent discovery of correlations, implications and nuance.
372376 - This DKR work is made faster, better and so cheaper by the
372377 - synergy of explicit links that empower people using the first
372378 - layer to create a few connections that make up the 2nd layer.
372379 - ref DIT 1 6X7J
372381 - ..
372382 - 8. Layer 3 requires a fast, supple method to organize conventional
372383 - information, like this letter, or in a book, seeing a movie,
372384 - attending a meeting, making a call, into chronology that imparts
372385 - cause and effect based on organic structure that identifies,
372386 - segments and maintains context beyond limited span of attention
372387 - explained by Professor Miller in his paper delivered at Harvard
372388 - in 1955, and reviewed on 990303. ref SDS 56 6120 A flexible
372389 - structure makes it faster and easier to provide a first order
372390 - array using traditional outline and forms management methods,
372391 - sort of like a spreadsheet for knowledge. Automated connections
372392 - link segments into chains of chronology based on context.

372400 - ..
372401 - Custom connections triangulate meaning to avoid the drift that
372402 - innately occurs in the human mind and is compounded over time in
372403 - stream-of-conscious communication through the common practice of
372404 - paraphrasing. ref DIT 1 C14F

372408 - recognizing alternate views of daily working information.

372412 - Alignment and feedback "debug" understanding to reduce ambiguity
372413 - of mental maps that occur through stream-of-conscious
372414 - communication in layers 1 and 2, using a double entry process
372415 - called "notice" in the law. ref DIT 1 M35F
372417 - ..
372418 - Chronology, contacts, organic structure, objects like a letter,
372419 - report, file, action items, and key words and connections
372420 - provided in layer 2, all working together, like the mind uses
372421 - parallel processing to draw on its memory of experience, make it
372422 - possible to find most everything in real-time for growing
372423 - Knowledge Space minute by minute, hour by hour, over days, weeks
372424 - and years. ref DIT 1 L35L

372433 - 9. How then to parlay purple numbers that bridge layers one and
372434 - two, and which people are not using, as Murray noted in his
372435 - letter on 020815, reviewed earlier today, ref SDS E2 YR6F, into
372436 - something that gets layer 3 done to augment intelligence for
372437 - everyone, as you contemplated in your letter on 000423, and
372438 - later was needed to fill the gaps in national security on
372439 - 010911. Clearly, your specs for CDR, which Lee Iverson built
372440 - upon to create NODAL, reviewed on 010620, and now Jack Park has
372441 - advanced with Nexist, is the kind of evolutionary process that
372442 - Doug envisions, ref DIT 1 K56J, related on 000327. ref SDS 81
372443 - 8484, and noted earlier on 000120. ref SDS 74 2688
372445 - ..
372446 - Murray's doubts about the feasability of retraining everybody
372447 - for intelligence work to improve accuracy that avoids mistakes
372448 - and increase creativity is well founded. ref SDS E1 W19K This
372449 - takes a long time, and not everybody is willing and able to
372450 - perform intelligence work. However, training a few people to be
372451 - Communication Analysts can help all of us align the work in less
372452 - time and with fewer mistakes, in the same way that training a
372453 - few accountants helps everybody align daily finances, training a
372454 - few doctors helps everybody live longer, healthier lives,
372455 - training a few engineers, helps everybody get things done, only
372456 - a few farmers helps everybody else eat better, etc.
