151008 - system. ref SDS 19 QA8W

151013 -    1.  Responding to your letter yesterday, ref SDS 0 WQ5V, Mil has
151014 -        had an up and down experience the past 3 years. On 040614 the
151015 -        doctor diagnosed IBC, ref DIT 1 0001, which has a survival of
151016 -        18 months.  Turns out her symptoms began OA 021209, and was
151017 -        misdiagnosed for 19 months, making her something of a medical
151018 -        marvel. ref SDS 9 6T5G
151020 -         ..
151021 -    2.  IBC is a rare form of cancer, reported on 040517, ref SDS 8
151022 -        TO7L, so in October we got a 2nd opinion from the Standford
151023 -        Cancer Center, and another from the UCSF Cancer Center.  Both
151024 -        recommended continued treatments, ref DIT 1 MPSS, based on
151025 -        favorable response to a new drug trial, reported on 041018,
151026 -        ref SDS 11 LX7L, and the next day on 041019. ref SDS 12 HX5H  A
151027 -        few weeks later, on November 4 Millie was taken off the trial,
151028 -        because testing found pulomonary embolism (blood clots in her
151029 -        lungs), which is a side effect of the trial drug. ref SDS 13
151030 -        N43I Since there has been recent reporting in the public media
151031 -        of deaths due to pulmonary embolism among patients
151032 -        participating in the trial, Millie may have dodged another
151033 -        bullet. Thankfully, Millie began new treatments a week ago on
151034 -        050104, ref SDS 18 0001, but IBC has became much worse during
151035 -        the interim two (2) months without treatment. reported on
151036 -        041230. ref SDS 17 XQ6I
151038 -         ..
151039 -        Today, our feeling is there has been some response to the first
151040 -        treatment, so we are again hopeful.  The bright spot throughout
151041 -        the "roller coaster" has been Millie's positive, cheerful
151042 -        perspective that has buoyed the spirits of everyone. She is
151043 -        truly a marvel. ref DIT 1 R75I

461108 -    3.  On the other matter, I am willing to discuss Fleabyte with you
461109 -        privately, but do not plan further comment to the group email.
461110 -        When Jack complained yesterday on 050115 that the subject
461111 -        morphed from Fleabyte to POIMS, ref SDS 19 EI4X, I reviewed the
461112 -        email and could not find support for complaint.  Moreover,
461113 -        POIMS sets requirements for technology and work practices that
461114 -        augment intelligence, based on a theory of knowledge that
461115 -        integrates time and information.  There is no reason for a
461116 -        theory of knowledge to be ruled off limits in discussions to
461117 -        advance information technology, particularly since this has
461118 -        proven hard to accomplish.  For example on 000307 Doug asked
461119 -        for a definition of "knowledge," because this issue had been
461120 -        problematic in his career. ref SDS 2 4820
461122 -  ..
461123 - Jack commented on 040221 that the developer should not promote SDS.

461125 - concerns. ref SDS 19 XJ36

461131 -        structure for knowledge, and the user interface that makes this
461132 -        structure useful to people. ref SDS 3 H17O
461134 -         ..
461135 -    5.  A year later, on 011003 Jack wrote a letter saying work on the
461136 -        OHS/DKR effort had produced no clues on how to solve the
461137 -        problem with other tools. ref SDS 5 O74L
461139 -         ..

890609 -    7.  As well, Jack's recent references to "...if memory serves..."
890610 -        for guidance on Mary Keeler's remarks 5 years ago in 2000,
890611 -        cited in his letter the other day on 050115, ref SDS 19 EH6U,
890612 -        demonstrates the need for a DKR, and that SDS meets that need,
890613 -        because, if needed, I can look up what Mary said, and what Jack
890614 -        said, Doug and others said on the point at issue, and this can
890615 -        be done in 10 seconds.  On a bad day, maybe it takes a minute
890616 -        or so to exercise situational awareness.  I don't know of
890617 -        another way to demonstrate the meaning of a DKR.
890619 -  ..
890620 - Analysis on 041124 shows SDS support for precision access to
890621 - organizational memory meets common requirements for accuracy better
890622 - than other methods, ref SDS 15 Q36Q, and notes that manufacturers who
890623 - sell things care about accuracy, especially customers for cars,
890624 - trains, airplanes, space shuttles, reviewed earlier on 041118 in

AK1108 -        However, five (5) years of experience has shown that for me to
AK1109 -        engage in discussion of DKR issues, ref DIT 1 VS3I, creates
AK1110 -        visceral objections, for reasons cited by Plato in the
AK1111 -        Phaedrus, reviewed on 991209. ref SDS 1 VW5I
AK1113 -         ..
AK1114 -    8.  Jack made the same point last year on 040221, ref DIT 1 ET4G,
AK1115 -        saying I should not be the advocate for SDS. ref SDS 7 W54O
AK1117 -         ..
AK1118 -    9.  In any event, I am resigned to being reserved to near silence
AK1119 -        on explaining anything related to SDS, particularly to people
AK1120 -        who work in the field. ref DIT 1 WT4M  In a letter on 011210
AK1121 -        Gary Johnson cited Buckminster Fuller observing it takes 50
AK1122 -        years for an established culture to adopt fundamental change.
AK1123 -        ref SDS 6 R66K  There is a lot of evidence on this point.
AK1124 -        Recently, I was amazed to learn how much resistance there was
AK1125 -        to the US military adopting air power, and was only dragged
AK1126 -        kicking and screaming to use this method because of German
AK1127 -        success during WWII, reported on 040813. ref SDS 10 IU4Y
AK1129 -         ..
AK1130 -   10.  I was further amazed to learn Thomas Edison died broke, because
AK1131 -        he invented Portland Cement, which, today, is used in every
AK1132 -        structure in the US, ref DIT 1 6U6F, yet with all his power and
AK1133 -        prestige, Edison could not empower the people of his time to
AK1134 -        adopt this advance, reported last month on 041213. ref SDS 16
AK1135 -        334L
AK1137 -         ..
AK1138 -   11.  So, challenges abound, and advocacy seems especially
AK1139 -        problematic.  There are 30,000 records over 20 years
AK1140 -        demonstrating SDS ability to perform, and there is a large body
AK1141 -        of writing explaining theory and practice, e.g., POIMS, NWO,
AK1142 -        Typical Day Scenario, but I seem personally cut off from
AK1143 -        participating in the dialogue. ref DIT 1 UV6O
AK1145 -         ..
AK1146 -   12.  Some say the problem is explaining that for 2000 years,
AK1147 -        alphabet technology has been the engine of civilization,
AK1148 -        ref DIT 1 4W7M, by augmenting intelligence, explained in POIMS.
AK1149 -        ref OF 3 ER3G  Yet, we learn that Doug Lenat makes the same
AK1150 -        point, set out in a reference Jack Park Submitted on 010622,
AK1151 -        ref SDS 4 N668, and nobody seems to have a heart attack.  So,
AK1152 -        people say the problem is reporting the good news that SDS
AK1153 -        makes a fundamental advance that lifts the ability to think,
AK1154 -        remember, and communicate.  Who else though is making this
AK1155 -        case?  Who is saying that intelligence can be augmented in some
AK1156 -        other way?  What evidence demonstrates there is another way to
AK1157 -        generate a DKR?
AK1159 -         ..
AK1160 -   13.  In any case, it is kind of you to ask about Millie. ref DIT 1
AK1161 -        01GM Treatments, pills, tests, hopes, and frailty of the flesh
AK1162 -        collide with bureaucracy in the delivery of medical care.
AK1163 -        People worry and debate endlessly about entitlement to care.
AK1164 -        Health insurance buys access to the system, then the problems
AK1165 -        begin....
AK1167 -         ..
AK1168 -   14.  Good luck with Fleabyte, and best wishes for all your
AK1169 -        endeavours.  Like Doug Engelbart, you have earned respect and
AK1170 -        admiration by strength of character, and dedication to
AK1171 -        advancing enlightened public policy.  Regardless of what
