060602 -
060603 - We need fast and easy functions for creating multiple views.  This can
060604 - be done with cut and past, but faster methods facilitate constructing
060605 - organic structure for subjects applied in the Control Field to find
060606 - information quickly when needed.  Developed two functions.  Alt F4
060607 - switches the order of two words, left or right, ref SDS 0 QU4M, and F1
060608 - Alft F4 can be used to change the order of phrases. ref SDS 0 405N

061001 - Multiple Views Constructed Directly Saves Time by Reducing Keystrokes
061002 - Keystrokes Reduced by Eliminating Cut and Paste to Constuct Subjects
061003 -
061004 - Follow up ref SDS 11 PPTR, ref SDS 7 0G6H.
061005 -
061006 - Initial use indicates the first function to switch the order of two
061007 - words is very handy, especially since it is possible to "walk" words
061008 - into alternate arrangements, both left and right. ref SDS 0 QU4M  The
061009 - second was initially thought to have the best potential for
061010 - productivity gains, but has not proven to be as useful.  More
061011 - experience will shake this out.
061013 -  ..
061014 - Reducing keystrokes and saving time complements improvements listed in
061015 - the record on 000824. ref SDS 3 0001  On 021228 the advantage of
061016 - reducing keystrokes is discussed in some detail. ref SDS 5 VS6O
061018 -  ..
061019 - These new functions save a lot of keystrokes from formerly using cut
061020 - and paste, along with split, move, target, join, delete and insert to
061021 - change the order of a subject description that constructs multiple
061022 - views.  A conservative estimate is 20 to 50 keystrokes are eliminated
061023 - per subject.  Since SDS uses a lot of subjects, since often, rather
061024 - than merly change the order of words, an entire new string is created,
061025 - and since descriptions in the Subject Index can be over 100 words, the
061026 - actual saving of time seems very significant.  These new functions to
061027 - eliminate the use of common editing for cut and paste, split, move,
061028 - target, join, insert etc., but the need for these tools is greatly
061029 - reduced.
061031 -  ..
061032 - Reducing the time for context management, means there is more time for
061033 - doing more context management and for other tasks.

061402 - Finding Information Requires Multiple Views and Good Tools
061403 - Context Mangement Requires Tools to Construct Multiple Views Quickly
061404 -
061405 - Experience the past 15 years constructing alternate views shows that
061406 - context is critical for accomplishing popular KM objectives to find
061407 - information quickly and consistently for command and control of the
061408 - work, explained in POIMS. ref OF 9 1113  Context management performed
061409 - routinely day-to-day reveals the complexity that causes error from
061410 - limited span of attention and meaning drift, when relying on human
061411 - memory that drives most daily work, see again POIMS. ref OF 6 049O
061412 - This presents significant opportunity for saving time, money and lives
061413 - by proactively adding intelligence to information that improves
061414 - memory.  Tools for fast, accurate memory make command and control
061415 - effective by avoiding error.
061417 -  ..
061418 - Without effective tools for "connecting the dots" of cause and effect,
061419 - complexity is mostly hidden from the mind's eye, and so explains the
061420 - powerful story of Pandora's Box, cited on 000221 to convey difficulty
061421 - organizing daily work, also, called "ontology." ref SDS 2 2622 and
061422 - ref SDS 2 3248  As noted, experience with the eight (8) steps using
061423 - SDS, set out on 001219, ref SDS 4 4W4L, for organizing the record
061424 - day-to-day, enable people to readily grasp the dimisions of this
061425 - challenge; however, left unattended, continual bumbling eventually
061426 - leads to a critical mass of error that explodes.  POIMS warns that
061427 - without command and control, time bombs are ticking, ticking
061428 - everywhere. ref OF 7 8844

061466 - These functions seem arcane and "overkill," because very few invest
061467 - time these days for context management, see on 890324, ref SDS 1 X74I,
061468 - As problems mount and crisis turns into calamity, demand for better
061469 - management will grow.  Since we are only on the frontier of creating
061470 - tools for context, this is a significant opportunity, as related in
061471 - NWO. ref OF 16 7055
