191102 -
191103 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Tom with a link to the record on 020729
191104 - asking for ideas on a thesis to investigate for a research project on
191105 - SDS. ref SDS 61 JH5K  The letter says....

191107 -   1.  Per my voice message the other day, a letter to Eric Armstrong
191108 -       and to the OHS/DKR group, ref DIP 4 0001, submitted today,
191109 -       020820, ref SDS 63 XK9H, both explains and illustrates how to
191110 -       implement a 3-layer architecture that transforms alphabet
191111 -       technology from traditional information to enable a culture of
191112 -       knowledge. ref DIT 1 0001  This aligns with your interests in
191113 -       architecture and in transformation, set out in your letter on
191114 -       020726. ref SDS 58 SQ3N

191116 -          [On 020911 called Tom - he has not had time to review the
191117 -          letter on a 3-layer architecture. ref SDS 65 0001

191120 -   2.  Following your request when you called on 020729, ref SDS 60
191121 -       H7PT, I have looked through the record of your meeting at the
191122 -       Santa Fe Institute this past May, ref DIT 1 1M7F, which you
191123 -       provided by reference in your letter on 020726. ref SDS 58 5F4G
191124 -       Review and study shown shows a lot of promising ideas, people
191125 -       and opportunities to forge a path of transformation from
191126 -       information to a culture of knowledge, ref SDS 58 S55F, as
191127 -       explained in POIMS. ref OF 1 SV5N

320707 -   3.  As I mentioned in our discussion on 020729, I met with Pat
320708 -       Lincoln at SRI later in the afternoon about getting an
320709 -       endorsement of SDS, ref SDS 60 JB6H, based on Pat's experience
320710 -       with SDS work product for the past several years. ref DIT 1 UL9G
320711 -       We made good progress, and I am finalizing a draft for Pat to
320712 -       issue, as shown in the record on 020729. ref SDS 61 4K6G
320713 -
320714 -        ..
320715 -   4.  Discussion with Pat at SRI raised raised issues on transforming
320716 -       IT to KM. ref DIT 1 6S4I  Foremost is the need to "study what
320717 -       works" by applying professional research to the story of SDS and
320718 -       Com Metrics. ref SDS 61 T43A  This aligns with ideas presented
320719 -       during your event for GivingSpace at the Santa Fe Institute,
320720 -       shown on 020726. ref SDS 58 E63H
320721 -
320722 -        ..
320723 -   6.  Pat pointed out that research requires a specific thesis to
320724 -       investigate, ref DIT 1 DX5F, and so I have begun to craft a few
320725 -       ideas that might be considered. ref SDS 61 JH5K
320726 -
320727 -        ..
320728 -   7.  Given your interest in transformation, you might take a turn at
320729 -       crafting a thesis or two that would interest you for research,
320730 -       ref DIT 1 VM6G, based on the explanation of SDS in POIMS.

380706 -   8.  Finally, Harold Koenig made a comment to the team during the
380707 -       GivingSpace event this past May about finding a way to
380708 -       contribute that is not already being accomplished by others.
380709 -       ref SDS 58 FV6H  Helping established cultures advance from
380710 -       information to a culture of knowledge would have the biggest
380711 -       long term impact by enabling people doing the work with stronger
380712 -       literacy skills that lift the capacity to think, remember and
380713 -       communicate. Transforming the GivingSpace culture, as a model,
380714 -       would provide immediate capability to devise effective short
380715 -       term measures for advancing philanthropy and develop experience
380716 -       for transformation of others. ref DIT 1 BS4G
