051103 - It seems like when a new function is executed after calling the record
051104 - link function, the thing fails.
051105 -
051106 - The problem is with the external link record function. Counter 12
051107 - is reset for internal calls, but is not reset for external calls.

340407 - SDS records beginning in 1985 provide a new way of working that
340408 - leverages ability to think, remember, and communicate. Flexibility of
340409 - writing enables people to craft and preserve fleeting thoughts and
340410 - ideas. SDS organic structure for context management and shallow
340411 - outlining format (see "line numbers," ref SDS 0 5C6L) transform
340412 - written information into the power of knowledge. Combining inherent
340413 - creativity of writing with structure to maintain a "well ordered
340414 - record" (see below, ref SDS 0 TP8O) helps cope with complexity from
340415 - rising population and technology in a faster paced world. SDS
340416 - flexible structures maintain order to find and understand cause and
340417 - effect that is constantly erroding from compression of time and
340418 - distance that overwhelms mental biology due the inherent conflict
340419 - between time and accuracy. Ordinarily hurrying causes mistakes;
340420 - taking time to check the record causes delay. Electronic structure

340442 - Writing extends speaking for flexible thinking by using both hands and
340443 - eyes in addition to hearing the words spoken silently. Additional
340444 - time and cognitive resources of communication through writing increase
340445 - delibration for creative thinking with fast and easy computer editing

340447 - to plan work listed in the schedule supported with records showing
340448 - background, objectives, problems, solutions, alternatives, and
340449 - adjustments to consider in carrying out the work. Writing is often
340450 - part and sometimes most of performing the work, as in writing a
340451 - letter, report, article, book, spreadsheet, etc. Writing a diary to
340452 - report results includes analysis of implications, correlations, and

340458 - SDS combines flexibility of writing with structures of formality using
340459 - "forms" with rigid "fields" that make sense of complexity based upon
340460 - reliability of consistent position. Integrating formality with

340527 - (see explanation below, ref SDS 0 T16K). As time passes, people get
340528 - confused when memory of multiple stories gets mixed up, commingled,

340542 - of cause and effect by using the granularity of time, i.e.,
340543 - chronology, combined with granular indexing for the organic structure
340544 - of context. Granularity magnifies command and control of daily work
340545 - by managing content of documents at the level of paragraphs. Advances

890606 - managing continuous information streams that optimize creativity,
890607 - discussed above, ref SDS 0 C29X, is much more difficult applied to

C80406 - Flexibility, explained above, ref SDS 0 P13O, is powerful, but is also
C80407 - more fragile than a rigid form. For example, alphabet technology is
C80408 - powerful because it is not significantly constrained by a form.
C80409 - Speech and writing allow full self-expression drawing on memory of
C80410 - relevant experience to communicate.

C80413 - The SDS method of integrating creativity with a well ordered record,
C80414 - per above, ref SDS 0 C24K, adds structure to manage complexity of
C80415 - daily work captured quickly, and randomly as events unfold in a diary
C80416 - of written narrative (see above, ref SDS 0 QA5H). Granularity of
C80417 - time, context, and connections, see above, ref SDS 0 TP8O, organize
C80418 - text with linear nodes (see again "line numbers," ref SDS 0 T1VQ) into
C80419 - record segments for constructing case studies that demonstrate cause
C80420 - and effect. This requires learning a few conventions for converting
C80421 - information in the seemingly random story of life into a connected web
C80422 - of useful knowledge. Structure turns experience into history linked
C80423 - to the context of human needs. SDS applies structure to manage
C80424 - context within a paradigm of Knowledge Space that integrates personal
C80425 - and organizational memory to make sense of complexity in time to save
C80426 - lives, time, and money.
C80428 - ..
C80429 - Traditional forms are easy to learn and use because application is
C80430 - rigid rather than "flexible. A rigid format forces people to ignore a
C80431 - wide range of circumstances that occur in daily life which do not fit
C80432 - the form. People therefore resist using forms because rigid formality
C80433 - stifles growth of knowledge and ideas.
C80435 - ..
C80436 - Organized flexible structures in the SDS design empower creativity,
C80437 - but are harder to learn becasue it is easy to make mistakes that cause
C80438 - frustrations when applied incorreclty during the learning period, just
C80439 - like it is easy to make mistakes in spelling, punctuation and word
C80440 - selection to apply the flexibility of alphabet technology. Flexible
C80441 - structure using SDS therefore presents a dilemma: good management to
C80442 - save time and money is fast and easy by following a few simple
C80443 - guidelines, but learning a new way of working requires forming new
C80444 - habits through initial practice.

D50575 - Similarly, "Dictionaries & encyclopedia" are listed under multiple

D50627 - not relevant at the moment, but will be relevant to other issues at
D50628 - other moments. How, as well, can parts of the record be retrieived

D50640 - Putting everything into a single alphabetical list of "keywords" is

D50642 - seems to use pointers within small lists that fit current perspective
D50643 - based on near term events, i.e., span of attention. We think of 4 or
D50644 - 5 things, and select one. The subject selected points to 4 or 5 more
D50645 - things, and we select one that enables action in the moment. If it
D50646 - doesn't work, we try to break it down further, or go back and select
D50647 - another path, if there is enough time, but usually there isn't so we

G40522 - with rigorous subject indexing. Multiple relational subject
G40523 - assignments to Control Fields form record segments at the paragraph
G40524 - level which complement flexible structures of time and line numbers,
G40525 - discussed above. ref SDS 0 T1VQ Indexing at the paragraph level
G40526 - enables finding related history that expands span of attention to
G40527 - discover correlations, implications, and nuance associated with
G40528 - objectives, requirements, and commitments.

G40531 - Finding relevant history makes constructing links fast and easy that
G40532 - verify accuracy connecting cause and effect. Better accuracy
G40533 - organizing and connecting the record enables working intelligently to
G40534 - make sense of complexity, per example above. ref SDS 0 428F Harmony

G40554 - electronic records management have not been realized by creating
G40555 - and storing information on computers; people overwhelmed by
G40556 - information density because only SDS has tools that convert
G40557 - information into knowledge. ref SDS 57 0526

G40564 - [On 011102 Larry Prusak at IBM explains Knowledge Management
G40565 - strives to implement "paperless office" for efficiencies of
G40566 - electronic records management because merely storing information
G40567 - on computers overwhelms human mental biology and so degrades
G40568 - productivity without complementary support for context and
