060702 -
060703 - Sketched some grapics to explain SDS record formats and the SDS
060704 - management process.  It is a way to show the power of SDS integration,
060705 - by first breaking down the elements of doing a management task.
060707 -  ..
060708 - A number of people have remarked that the SDS record is confusing when
060709 - the program is seen for the first time, see for example ref SDS 1 line
060710 - 169 and ref SDS 2 line 160.
060712 -     ..
060713 -    [On 940510 encylclopedia is a form of knowledge repository expanded
060714 -    by SDS that integrates personal and organizational memory into a
060715 -    system of concurrent discovery for understanidng cause and effect
060716 -    to work intelligently. ref SDS 3 8403
060718 -  ..
060719 - We might initially discuss the elements of good practice in doing
060720 - management work, like writing a letter.

060741 -              Relationships to past understandings and documents
060742 -
060743 -              What we think about it:
060744 -
060745 -                 Correlation to objectives
060746 -                 Chances of meeting objectives
060747 -                 Costs of failure, reward of benefits
060748 -                 Impacts on other objectives, people
060750 -               ..
060751 -              Coordination - we called and told someone about it
060752 -
060754 -           ..
060755 -          Schedule Follow Up
060756 -
060757 -              When does action need to be taken
060758 -              How much lead time to allow for unexpected difficulties
060759 -              Priority
060760 -              Is it an indefinite requirement, i.e. whenever convenient
060761 -
060763 -  ..
060764 - I came up with a better explanation of the SDS record at ref SDS 2
060765 - line 157, as a means to show the complex process going on in the human
060766 - mind, so people can be sure it occurs correctly.
060767 -
060768 -     We can make a schematic showing the above considerations, and
060769 -     then make one to show how all of this is incorporated into an SDS
060770 -     record.
060771 -
060773 -  ..
060774 - If we get some money, we need to create some graphics on this.
060775 -
060776 -     [This came up again in the meeting with General Hatch a few years
060777 -     later, ref SDS 4 line 652.]
