240507 - Called Morris this morning for the technical explanation of the
240508 - "breakthrough" he said SDS has achieved when we talked on 910523.
240509 - ref SDS 4 3001
240511 -  ..
240512 - He said that the breakthrough in SDS is the dynamic integration of
240513 - relational data base with the organizational advantages of hierarchal
240514 - structure, reflecting his earlier discussion of SDS architecture on
240515 - 890809, ref SDS 3 8211.

240526 - I asked Morris to craft a simple paragraph identifying elements of SDS
240527 - that comprise hierarchial and relational data base methods and explain

240533 -      mechanics has taught us to think causally, and only now we are
240534 -      beginning to think relationally.  You appear to be plowing a path
240535 -      that brings the two together. ref SDS 20 TS35
