141002 -
141003 - Campbell's book explains biology may drive perception, memory,
141004 - thinking, reasoning, and intelligence that grows human knowledge by
141005 - integrating time and context.  The SDS design follows Campbell's
141006 - analysis in some respects. ref SDS 0 3016  Campbell further discusses
141007 - challenges for mainstream efforts to develop "artificial intelligence"
141008 - are not attainable because of the strengths and weaknesses of the
141009 - human brain. ref SDS 0 3002  SDS leverages innate intelligence by
141010 - supporting mental weaknesses, so that the mind's strengths are more
141011 - effective, by enabling people to quickly capture personal and
141012 - organizational experierence, organize it, connect it and stretch it,
141013 - which is the POIMS notion of "converting information into knowledge."
141014 - Campbell seems to agree with this idea, see ref OF 13 4088 and

141436 - The author does not seem to deal with how the brain organizes
141437 - information to create knowledge.  Seems like this process must be to
141438 - sustain existence.  Computers have no human needs, nor millions of
141439 - years of genetic development to evolve capacities, expectations and
141440 - drives based on demands of the biological system, which Campbell
141441 - discusses. ref OF 13 8577

141445 - Baker Street Reasoning, Common Sense Guides Confidence in Truth
141446 - Common Sense, Intuition, Paradigms and Stories Produce Meaning
141447 -
141448 - Campbell explains "Baker Street Reasoning" as the notion of "common
141449 - sense," ref OF 13 8388, that drives "intuition," ref OF 13 9993 and
141450 - ref OF 13 7358, based on life experience stored in the subconscious
141451 - mind and used to fill in the gaps from remembering only the gist of
141452 - the story, ref OF 13 V923, explained below. ref SDS 0 0405
141454 -  ..
141455 - False memory and false knowledge are the price people pay for reliance
141456 - on "common sense," ref OF 19 9637, that is effective when applied in
141457 - the moment where context can filter out errors and irrelevancies, but
141458 - cause devestating consequences when applied beyond the moment where
141459 - original context is not available for filtering, as explained below.
141460 - ref SDS 0 4456
141462 -  ..
141463 - The term "common sense" connotes a commonality of sensory perception
141464 - based on a common biology, but applied to unique, diverse experience.
141465 - Intuition seems to derive from mental templates called "schemas," also
141466 - "paradigms," formed from human experience about the way the world
141467 - usually works, discussed below. ref SDS 0 6831  These templates are
141468 - more commonly called "stories," see below. ref SDS 0 F582  Thus,
141469 - intuition and common sense require experience, and so are in constant
141470 - flux based on the continuum of changes in daily life, explained

220508 - People do not grasp the power of integrating time and information, and
220509 - feel, instead, that a computer should "think" for them, as discussed
220510 - on 911121, ref SDS 9 2909, rather than create an environment that
220511 - leverages their innate ability to think.  People feel that computers
220512 - promise automated thinking that makes life "better" without any
