050603 - Discussed problem at ref SDS 14 line 32, which was partially and
050604 - temporarily resolved at ref SDS 15 line 53.
050606 -  ..
050607 - Morris said that yesterday he did not attend the candidate meeting he
050608 - mentioned at ref SDS 14 line 28.  He said that meeting is next
050609 - Wednesday, 940330.  Yesterday he had a strategy meeting with other
050610 - candidates, to plan for the Wednesday event, and develop voter
050611 - recognition materials, e.g. photographs.
050613 -  ..
050614 - I will call him tomorrow to schedule another date for doing this
050615 - work, hopefully next week.
050616 -
050617 -     Explained my idea to bring my CPU #3 to his office so he can just
050618 -     sit down and work on this matter directly, without having to fuss
050619 -     with it over the modem, since we always have problems with this.
050620 -     He is open to this idea.

060504 - Follow up ref SDS 10 C48N, ref SDS 8 FI6J.
060505 -
060506 - I explained the need for improving recovery after memory fragments
060507 - during continuous usage, as we discussed on 931023, ref SDS 8 FI6J,
060508 - especially since 940325 when I changed the way we update archived SDS

0608 - Ideas
0609 -
060901 - One idea is to create a function that does this each time we use F2,
060902 - so if RAM is only slightly out of order, the routine can recover it
060903 - quickly the way Norton can compress a disk more quickly, if there is
060904 - only a slight amount of data that has to be moved.
060905 -
060906 -     Morris was unsure how well this can can be implemented.
060907 -
060909 -  ..
060910 - Morris feels the easiest way to recover RAM is to write the data to
060911 - the disk and then read it back.  I asked about the "dose" command
060912 - that seems to do this already.  He indicated that code is quite a bit
060913 - different from what he has in mind.
060914 -
060915 -     We might like to write to a RAM disk with some special code, so
060916 -     the write and read operation can be done more quickly.

191404 -
191405 - Discussed recent discovery that religion means "linking back to
191406 - original understandings," ref SDS 12 line 35.
191407 -
191408 -     Morris said his understanding about "religion" meaning to "link
191409 -     back" is that it supports a claim by the Catholic Church to a
191410 -     "link back" to the desciple Peter, which Catholics feel
191411 -     establishes Catholocism as the dominate voice of Christianity.
191413 -      ..
191414 -     I mentioned our findings from research in several dictionaries,
191415 -     per ref SDS 12 line 51, which do not mention Morris' understanding.

191418 -  ..
191419 - We discussed ideas that have been incorporated into the paper for PMI
191420 - on 940324. ref SDS 16 0001
191422 -  ..
191423 - Morris said citations are misused in religious text, and elsewhere and
191424 - so do not comprise a sound basis for assisting people to understand
191425 - and accurately remember original meaning.

781405 -
781406 - Morris explained having encountered strong, emotional resistance from
781407 - colleagues when he has offered feedback to refresh recollections on
781408 - conflicting understandings from calls, meetings, and documents.  Some
781409 - people get very angry when records are offered that indicate the basis
781410 - of action was different from what they remember or can decifer from
781411 - their notes.  He feels that angry, abusive response is not very
781412 - pleasant, and so discourages trying to understand root causes to
781413 - resolve conflict and avoid future problems.
781414 -
781415 -     [On 960326 Morris resisted reviewing the record to prepare for a
781416 -     productive meeting. ref SDS 23 DP44
781418 -      ..
781419 -     [On 980405 Bill DeHart had similar experience at PG&E; people
781420 -     object to accountability for good management. ref SDS 30 1236
781422 -  ..
781423 - This experience reflects analysis in the New World Order... where
781424 - people don't have enough time to think, and so lash out to avoid the
781425 - burden of resolving conflict, which is an essential responsiblity of
781426 - leadership ref OF 6 2670, under Truman's dictum...
781427 -
781428 -               If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen!
781430 -           ..
781431 -          [On 990527 Morris described strong cultural resistance to
781432 -          improving management, ref SDS 32 1233, the boss at Chips and
781433 -          later at Intel doesn't listen when SDS is proposed to save
781434 -          time and money. ref SDS 32 074D
781436 -  ..
781437 - Morris feels that, since people get mad when they get information that
781438 - conflicts with their memory from days, weeks and years earlier, then
781439 - keeping an accurate record is not useful for improving the work with
781440 - accurate understandings.
781442 -  ..
781443 - Morris further indicated this evening that accurate records are not
781444 - helpful to resolve legal disputes, because a personal diary or journal
781445 - would be considered biased, and so not reliable evidence in court.  He
781446 - feels SDS records are biased and not accurate, so there is no point in
781447 - using SDS to improve the work.
781449 -  ..
781450 - On 911130 Judge Mosk, an associate justice on the California Supreme
781451 - Court, indicated that a contemporaneous record, regularly maintained
781452 - and distributed for people to submit feedback with corrections and
781453 - additions is helpful for fact finding by understanding causation based
781454 - on the chronology of events. ref SDS 4 5006
781456 -  ..
781457 - While reasoning that an accurate record should be avoided because
781458 - people get mad when information conflicts with momentary memory and
781459 - assumption is supported by the record, there seems to be a strong
781460 - cultural hope that accuracy is not required for internal management,
781461 - but is useful for external management, as discussed on 890809.
781462 - ref SDS 2 0880  This feeds biological drives to go from meeting to
781463 - meeting, and have endless calls working from memory and assumption,
781464 - without expending any effort to capture the record nor to check the
781465 - record.
781466 -
781467 -          [On 950204 Morris related advice from a professional seminar
781468 -          aligns with SDS process of capturing organizational memory
781469 -          for manaing the work; he felt this practice is unnecessary
781470 -          overkill. ref SDS 19 5932
781472 -           ..
781473 -          [On 950228 Morris frustrated because meetings waste endless
781474 -          hours arguing about who said what at the last meeting, which
781475 -          stops productivity on everything. ref SDS 20 1994

AN1406 - Morris feels SDS support for common storage and precision access to

AN1408 - enabling people to build shared memory, and to find critical details
AN1409 - when needed.  These features flow from the SDS design for Knowledge

AN1422 -     [On 010425 Morris explained SDS is a utopia compared to other

AN1427 -     [On 020110 Morris asked how SDS enables people to remember dates
AN1428 -     so many accurately. ref SDS 38 I84G
AN1430 -  ..
AN1431 - Morris explained that remembering dates is hard and frustrating.  As
AN1432 - time passes, people get confused about chronology.  Memory of complex
AN1433 - events fades and is hard to keep in order; things gets mixed up in the
AN1434 - mind.  This leads to conflict and argument in conversation during
AN1435 - meetings and calls because everybody remembers things differently.
AN1436 - People claims their files say this or that, but nobody has time to
AN1437 - check, because looking through the files takes a lot of time that is
AN1438 - very frustrating.  Morris feels that connecting things in the record
AN1439 - to accurately remember the sequence of cause and effect is a
AN1440 - self-evident benefit for most people, as related in POIMS. ref OF 5
AN1441 - G54N
AN1442 -
AN1443 -     [On 961017 meeting at USACE reported people remember things

AN1454 -     helpful. ref SDS 40 0001
AN1456 -  ..
AN1457 - An example is concern on 921127 that little inconsequential details
AN1458 - later explode into major problems because nobody can remember the
AN1459 - context of correlations with prior history. ref SDS 6 0674  Morris
AN1460 - noted SDS links help solve this problem by enabling fast access to
AN1461 - contextually relevant history, which reveals both prior and subsequent
AN1462 - events that, in turn, disclose related issues, using the SDS design
AN1463 - for flexible and organic structures, reviewed on 890523. ref SDS 1
