3817 - Summary/Objective
3818 -
381801 - Follow up ref SDS 27 KR6I, ref SDS 26 0000.
381802 -
381803 - Faster access, accuracy and context are self-evident benefits for most
381804 - people after gaining experience with linking. ref SDS 0 3289  "What's
381805 - excessive" is a dilemma of balancing aversion to complexity against
381806 - the bigger problem of more mistakes, ref SDS 0 3T3M, that continually
381807 - occur in the millions of links which human cognition innately makes.
381808 - ref SDS 0 9W4L  Suddenly seeing for the first time a greater share of
381809 - links that occur naturally in the subconscious mind, ref SDS 0 4692,
381810 - exposes the complexity of details that reveals a high risk of error.
381811 - This revelation is understandably unsettling, even shocking to the
381812 - conscious mind, leading to the feeling that links boggle the mind.
381813 - ref SDS 0 9W84  Judicious Review offers best practices for clear,
381814 - concise, complete communication within the framework of a 3-layer
381815 - architecture that helps balance benefits and complexity of linking.
381816 - ref SDS 0 9W50 Transformation takes time and patience because people
381817 - vary in ability to learn new methods, and some may never become
381818 - acclimated.  Lifting civilization occurs by providing the greatest
381819 - good for the greatest number. ref SDS 0 I24H  Links are an important
381820 - part of navigating Knowledge Space, and require continued attention
381821 - for developing implementation practices in combination a number of
381822 - other new features that comprise a new way of working for meeting the
381823 - challenge of new realities in a new world order. ref SDS 0 9X75  Gary
381824 - notes that the letter from Chris Dent has a link to a location that
381825 - demonstrates "transclusion," which has come up in the past year or so
381826 - on the OHS/DKR effort. ref SDS 0 PQRP

382206 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Gary saying....
382207 -
382208 -    1.  Found this while tracking a Blue Oxen post. Chris Dent quotes
382209 -        it from another entry on his blog (most of which is babble).
382210 -        It speaks, a little, to the balance between links and the
382211 -        narrative that provides context for the links.
382213 -         ..
382214 -        http://www.burningchrome.com:8000/~cdent/mt/archives/000151.html#nid00000R5
382216 -         ..
382217 -    2.  I agree. One of the problems with these PurpleNumber things is
382218 -        that they make it possible to make an email, wiki or blog
382219 -        posting that is nothing but a series of links. I've heard these
382220 -        referred to as a HomeworkPost?. They cut down on the narrative
382221 -        flow which is often necessary for language to be persuasive.
382223 -  ..
382224 - On 020730 Gary noted that links in email annoy people. ref SDS 20 5K5O
382225 - Earlier on 000125 Eric Armstrong expected that a connected record of
382226 - intelligence at first boggles the mind. ref SDS 11 GE65  On 030510
382227 - Gary discussed citations to footnotes in a bibliography for solving
382228 - the problem. ref SDS 26 0001  On 940327 Morris Jones reported that
382229 - links themselves solve a big problem by improving accuracy of memory.
382230 - ref SDS 2 J496  Recently on 030512 analysis shows that the mechanics
382231 - of transformation from information to knowledge create powerful
382232 - disincentives to linking, ref SDS 27 KR6I, but people get used to a
382233 - connected record after gaining exposure to discover the benefits,
382234 - reported on 000208. ref SDS 12 Q44N
382236 -  ..
382237 - This background suggests following additional analysis....
382238 -
382239 -    1.  References to Chris Dent's work in Gary's letter make the point
382240 -        Gary describes that "excessive" links are harmful. ref SDS 0
382241 -        YI6M  Since too much of anything is harmful by definition, this
382242 -        leaves open the question of what's "excessive," similar to
382243 -        Morris' question on 950204 asking "What's a metric" of
382244 -        communication? ref SDS 3 0937
382245 -
382247 -         ..
382248 -        Dilemma Defined When Something Can be Both Good and Bad
382249 -        Knowledge Management Dilemma Links Good Except When Too Many
382250 -    2.  ------------------------------------------------------------
382251 -        Evidence that links are helpful is shown by reporting on 940327
382252 -        citing self-evident benefits of better memory. ref SDS 2 J496
382253 -        Experience using SDS over a number of years shows advantages of
382254 -        better memory enabled in part by linking, and is illustrated by
382255 -        a report on 010916. ref SDS 17 0001  Doug Engelbart's 1992
382256 -        paper on groupware called for linking in email, reviewed on
382257 -        991222. ref SDS 10 1Z61  This record suggests that no linking
382258 -        is not an answer; yet, too much linking also causes problems,
382259 -        per above. ref SDS 0 GE4N  When a thing can both be good and
382260 -        bad, this presents a dilemma.  In discussing human cognition,
382261 -        we speak of a Knowledge Management Dilemma.
382263 -         ..
382264 -    3.  Information a person sees, hears and otherwise assimilates
382265 -        through sensory perception is automatically (i.e., innately)
382266 -        linked through the power of human cognition to build awareness
382267 -        of existence in relation to experience and needs, as discussed
382268 -        on 020920. ref SDS 22 6H3G  These mental metrics can be
382269 -        rendered, shaped and maintained for accurate retrieval using
382270 -        the SDS spreadsheet for knowledge, explained on 950204.
382271 -        ref SDS 3 AK5L
382273 -         ..
382274 -        The flexible structure of SDS manages complexity of existence
382275 -        organically, explained in the record on 890523. ref SDS 1 LU55
382276 -        A common scenario illustrates the process of innate linking....
382277 -
382278 -             I am looking at a tree.  This new information is connected
382279 -             in the mind by remembering that trees provide shade, fuel,
382280 -             lumber for shelter and weapons, maybe food, maybe danger,
382281 -             etc.  Context of surrounding information in the moment
382282 -             enables the mind to focus on particular connections to
382283 -             trees that guide taking action.  For example, if the
382284 -             objective is cut the tree down for lumber, is the tree big
382285 -             enough, is it the right type for the intended purpose?
382286 -             There are many more connections that flow from information
382287 -             observing a tree.
382289 -         ..
382290 -    4.  Each of these potentialities are links to a wide range of other
382291 -        contexts.  Perceptions of information more complex than looking
382292 -        at a tree yield a great many more links in the mind, as
382293 -        explained in POIMS. see, for example, discussion on
382294 -        "communication," ref OF 5 1105, and recent draft endorsement
382295 -        proposed to SRI. ref OF 1 OQ3G
382297 -         ..
382298 -    5.  Opportunity for reward and survival depend on accurate links in
382299 -        the mind between current conscious perceptions and subconscious
382300 -        processing that occurs on automatic pilot, commonly called
382301 -        thinking, analysis, intelligence, memory, experience and
382302 -        history. ref OF 2 0367  This suggests linking per se is not a
382303 -        problem, but rather the tension between consciously doing
382304 -        sequential processing of links to verify accuracy of what the
382305 -        mind is already doing subconsciously in parallel that enables
382306 -        survival.
382308 -         ..
382309 -    6.  POIMS explains the distinction between serial, sequential
382310 -        action in a parallel world, where people have to decide to make
382311 -        a physical act rather than another, because we cannot do two
382312 -        things at the same time, yet events are evolving in many
382313 -        directions. ref OF 3 8774  For example, this morning I want to
382314 -        work on the letter from Pat Lincoln on 030222, but first want
382315 -        to nail down organic structures the scope of Com Manager role
382316 -        that includes personal briefing, because that one has flowed
382317 -        back into span of attention by proving to be a helpful
382318 -        ingredient in Gary's use of SDS at Aerospace company, and it aligns with a
382319 -        lot of prior history.  This morning Gary raises the burden of
382320 -        learning to work with links, and he also asks for help on
382321 -        issuing an SDS record that is fouled up some way or another.
382322 -        These, plus other tasks need doing, only one can be done at
382323 -        once.  They must be done sequentially.  Therefore, a means is
382324 -        needed to list them so that no matter what priority is made and
382325 -        no matter how much time elapses, tasks that need doing will not
382326 -        be forgotten.
382328 -         ..
382329 -    7.  Conscious mental processing in the moment tackles one step at a
382330 -        time with very limited span of attention for thinking about
382331 -        seven (7) plus or minus a few things within a particular time
382332 -        frame, reviewed on 990303. ref SDS 5 5328  Steven Pinker in his
382333 -        book "How the Mind Works," says that limited span of attention
382334 -        is a feature not a bug, reviewed on 990329. ref SDS 6 3196
382335 -        Using fast parallel processing to quickly find potential links
382336 -        in the vastness of subconscious human memory, and then focusing
382337 -        the conscious span of attention on only a few results to make
382338 -        the most effective choice for taking sequential action, works
382339 -        well for survival of a physically weak species in world of
382340 -        powerful, faster threats.  Stated another way, subconscious
382341 -        processing occurs in parallel to provide guidance by handling
382342 -        everything in human memory that links current perceptions in
382343 -        the conscious mind to the real world.
382345 -         ..
382346 -    8.  All of this happens in a flash, processing millions of links
382347 -        when we step off the curb to walk across the street, per POIMS.
382348 -        ref OF 4 1104  The problem that justifies making an effort to
382349 -        use links is that people make a lot of mistakes relying on
382350 -        innate linking, as related on 020920. ref SDS 22 6H3G  If we
382351 -        want to improve performance in a modern, faster pace world, the
382352 -        only choice is to master a stronger form of linking, as related
382353 -        in the draft endorsement for SRI. ref OF 1 076L
382355 -         ..
382356 -    9.  Since the mind processes most of the links in the background
382357 -        and is only aware of 7 or so in the foreground, getting more
382358 -        links in the foreground of a letter or report, like you are
382359 -        starting to create with SDS, and like Chris Dent discusses
382360 -        today, per above, ref SDS 0 GE4N, is troubling because it
382361 -        exposes a greater share of complexity than the conscious mind
382362 -        is used to encountering.  On 000125 Eric Armstrong worried that
382363 -        a DKR linking things up would "boggle the mind."  Over the
382364 -        weeks and months of the OHS/DKR effort, he initially pronounced
382365 -        his theory correct in letters on 000811, ref SDS 15 0001, and
382366 -        later on 000824 when he reported his mind was boggled by links
382367 -        to the archives. ref SDS 16 FJ5H  Later, however, after gaining
382368 -        more experience, on 010916 he reported a new discovery.  Eric
382369 -        found there is a benefit to links, ref SDS 17 0001, as well as a
382370 -        cost of "boggling" the conscious mind, reflecting Morris
382371 -        earlier discovery on 940327 that links improve the accuracy of
382372 -        memory. ref SDS 2 J496
382374 -         ..
382375 -   10.  This record sets up the KM dilemma of balancing the need for a
382376 -        lot of links to verify accuracy and understanding of context,
382377 -        with the need for focus in the conscious span of attention by
382378 -        limiting the number of links.
382380 -         ..
382381 -   11.  As with all dilemmas there is no single silver bullet that
382382 -        provides a universal answer, otherwise there would be no
382383 -        dilemma.  Rather a combination of tools, craft and process must
382384 -        be employed to help people improve accuracy and awareness of
382385 -        context to expand span of attention without being overwhelmed.
382387 -         ..
382388 -   12.  The 3-layer architecture is the basic process that has evolved
382389 -        for transformation from information to a culture of knowledge,
382390 -        reported on 020820. ref SDS 21 0001
382392 -         ..
382393 -   13.  "Judicious review" provides best practices for clear, concise,
382394 -        complete communication and is an essential component of the
382395 -        3-layer architecture that strives to address this dilemma,
382396 -        reported on 990419. ref SDS 7 2601  How, though, can
382397 -        communication be both concise and complete?
382399 -         ..
382400 -   14.  Judicious Review practice provides information that focuses
382401 -        concisely on immediate, primary and narrow goals, tasks and
382402 -        rationale, so there is clear understanding of intent.  Links
382403 -        provide background to verify accuracy of understanding on
382404 -        context, scope and reasoning.
382406 -         ..
382407 -   15.  Sounds simple, but since life is complex, as related in POIMS,
382408 -        ref OF 2 V57N, implementation occurs across a range of personal
382409 -        capacities and circumstances.  Some people can handle seeing
382410 -        more links than others, realizing there is no requirement to
382411 -        open every link at one time, and that some links are useful to
382412 -        check in the moment, while others are not needed now, but may
382413 -        be useful later under a different set of circumstances.  Other
382414 -        people are seemingly drawn to open every link, which of course
382415 -        takes forever, and so necessarily boggles even the most robust
382416 -        and talented mind.  Some people can learn to handle links after
382417 -        gaining experience and perhaps guidance through training and
382418 -        education, others are mentally wired emotionally so they can
382419 -        likely never be able to handle links in communication, just as
382420 -        some people don't like writing and prefer to do all their
382421 -        communication verbally.
382423 -         ..
382424 -   16.  This is not a question of good and bad, but rather a question
382425 -        of genetic variability that requires tailoring communication to
382426 -        give the greatest number of people the most help possible.  If
382427 -        we work to the lowest common denominator, there will be no
382428 -        advance, as related in analysis on 020920 when Jack Park and
382429 -        Morris raised this issue. ref SDS 22 YP45
382431 -         ..
382432 -   17.  Reaching beyond current capabilities necessarily implies some
382433 -        will be left behind, so that many more can lift civilization to
382434 -        a new plateau.  An obvious example is the automobile.  Not
382435 -        everyone understands how a car works, and, for some, high speed
382436 -        is a traumatic experience that boggles the mind.  Yet, on
382437 -        balance, the automobile helps everyone, including those who
382438 -        fear it.
