420410 -    2.  Your sample SDS records present the goal to augment
420411 -        intelligence by improving alphabet technology.  Jack Park's
420412 -        colleague, Howard Liu, submitted a letter on 010622 citing Doug
420413 -        Lenat noting that writing makes people "superhuman".
420414 -        ref SDS 36 N668, ref DIT 1 KY5N
420416 -  ..
420417 - The sample SDS records Morris submitted on 080124 indicate anger and
420418 - frustration from inexperience using the SDS design that uses numbers
420419 - for Communication Metrics, ref SDS 60 JR8L, to improve alphabet
420420 - technology. ref SDS 60 945F  Applying mathematics to manipulate
420421 - numbers to strengthen alphabet technology was discussed by Gary in his
420422 - letter on 070831 explaining SDS support for "information units,"
420423 - ref SDS 49 SG9T, that support Communication Metrics.  Morris
420424 - previously objected to this idea on 950204, when he asked "What's a
420425 - metric for communication?" ref SDS 9 5468
420427 -  ..
420428 - Morris has long worried about line numbers that provide precision
420429 - access using flexible structure adds value to traditional writing,
420430 - along the lines of legal practice that numbers every line of
420431 - pleadings.  Jack Park's letter to the team on 071212 illustrates
420432 - benefits of SDS support for precision access using line numbers.
420433 - ref SDS 55 RH6L
420434 -
420435 -               [On 080206 Morris proposes using an editor that cannot
420436 -               support flexible structure for the Subject Index,
420437 -               Control Fields, and line numbers; creating the editor
420438 -               required for SDS takes a lot of hard work. ref SDS 62
420439 -               RT9I
420441 -                ..
420442 -               [On 080606 Gary seemed to support Morris' feeling that
420443 -               SDS can be effective without support for shallow outline
420444 -               using line numbers for flexible structure. ref SDS 68
420445 -               9A5Q
420447 -  ..
420448 - The power of knowledge enabled by alphabet technology permeates
420449 - civilization, but gets very little attention, because skills are
420450 - institutionalized through formal education beginning at a very young
420451 - age, 6 - 10, and so gets no attention for decades of a lifetime, and
420452 - has not been improved for 2000 years, as explained in the letter to
420453 - Morris today, per below. ref SDS 0 OM6Q
420455 -  ..
420456 - Literacy using alphabet technology is explained in POIMS, ref OF 3
420457 - ER3G, including SDS support that improves ability to think, remember,
420458 - and communicate. ref OF 7 3742
420460 -  ..
420461 - Letter to Morris continues...
420462 -
420463 -    3.  Lenat's view aligns with classical historian Havelock, who
420464 -        studied at Oxford and taught at Yale and Harvard, and describes
420465 -        the alphabet as an "explosive technology," reviewed on 991108.
420466 -        ref SDS 21 5628, ref DIT 1 KY6U
420468 -         ..
420469 -    4.  Lenat and Havelock are supported by Plato, setting out in 400
420470 -        BC that the alphabet improves memory and wit, reported on
420471 -        991209. ref SDS 22 3416, ref DIT 1 KY7S
420473 -         ..
420474 -    5.  More recently, on 071113 Jack Park submitted a compelling
420475 -        article, "Technologies for Cooperation," which presents
420476 -        alphabet technology as a foundation of civilization.
420477 -        ref SDS 53 PH4K, ref DIT 1 KY7Z
420479 -         ..
420480 -    6.  Jack indicates "Technologies of Cooperation" is part of
420481 -        considerations for his current work, and adds that alphabet
420482 -        technology is not a common focus of his efforts nor his
420483 -        audience. [reported in Jack's letter on 071220. ref SDS 55
420484 -        TX9S] This perspective is widely shared.  For example, on
420485 -        990713 your former colleagues at Intel reported that augmenting
420486 -        intelligence sounds foreign, alien and funny. ref SDS 19 2150,
420487 -        ref DIT 1 KY8X
420489 -         ..
420490 -    7.  Since the lineaments of literacy have been relatively stable
420491 -        for a long time, and are learned in grade school, the
420492 -        opportunity to improve human thinking does not get a lot of
420493 -        attention. ref DIT 1 KY9X
420495 -  ..
420496 - This makes the idea and prospect of improving alphabet technology by
420497 - adding dimensions of time and context seem foreign and alien, see
420498 - POIMS, ref OF 7 T46O, which makes people mad to have to pause and
420499 - consider things they have never thought about, as explained on 010924.

420508 -    8.  As a result, SDS complements other efforts by providing a
420509 -        system with 7 elements of "flexible structure" that extend the
420510 -        2 dimensions of traditional literacy, explained on 890523.

830408 -        correlations with your own thoughts in our call on 010924.  At

830425 -        as discussed in your letter today.  With this experimental step
