221702 -
221703 - From the record reviewing Dave Vannier's letter received yesterday,
221704 - 960509 ref SDS 36 7722 and discussion with Hank at ref SDS 24 8847 and
221705 - ref SDS 24 7477 about the value of SDS providing "connections," rather
221706 - than simply storing information, as an element of "consciousness,"
221707 - from analysis on 960409 of Time Magazine article, ref SDS 23 7211, and
221708 - analysis on 950830 of information, knowledge, wisdom, ref SDS 12 8550
221709 - and discussion on 960227 with Morris, ref SDS 16 0022.  This also

221739 -    Concept of case studies, case law, common sense, wisdom was
221740 -    developed at ref SDS 12 8550.

221743 -    History was discussed at ref SDS 3 7344.
221745 -     ..
221746 -    The idea of memory as "stories" that evolve into "history" was
221747 -    developed at ref SDS 38 line 450.

221750 -    Memory as "chunks" is supported by Landauer's paper ref SDS 20 line

221754 - Morris is beginning to see the declination of consciousness, or mental

481302 - Management is Complex and Hard to Automate

481304 - Morris expressed frustration that a room full of very smart people get
481305 - mad because everyone comes to different conclusions on the same set of
481306 - "data" and/or "information," similar to our meeting with Bill DeHart
481307 - on the agenda for Asilomar. ref SDS 44 7390  Everybody remembers
481308 - things differently, as reported at PG&E on 941211. ref SDS 7 6488
481310 -  ..
481311 - This reflects the fact that data and information are converted into
481312 - knowledge by each individual whose varying experience leads them
481313 - through "common sense" to different meanings since there is not enough
481314 - time for people to align what is said by a lot of people in a short
481315 - time span with the variety of related information, per analysis on
481316 - 960518 of Tom Landauer's paper explaining knowledge acquisition. see
481317 - ref SDS 37 8787, and "meaning drift" ref SDS 37 3734
481319 -  ..
481320 - Morris feels this is an impossible challenge for technology to bridge.
481321 -
481322 -      [On 960326 Intel found that Communication Metrics improves
481323 -      meetings. ref SDS 22 3004.]

481325 -      [On 960721 meetings between Chips, Intel, Lockheed/Martin
481326 -      conflict, anger because people remember what happened at the last
481327 -      meeting differently. ref SDS 41 0896
481329 -       ..
481330 -      [On 970123 Intel uses "constructive confrontation" for meetings.
481331 -      ref SDS 42 1111
481333 -  ..
481334 - Ann Bevington cited this problem on 950605, ref SDS 11 1842.  Actually
481335 - Morris raised this earlier in a different context, ref SDS 8 1994.
481337 -  ..
481338 - On 951101 they were trying psychologists, ref SDS 14 5500, and also on
481339 - 951103. ref SDS 15 4355
481341 -  ..
481342 - On 960301 we considered the challenge of "managing managers" based on
481343 - Drucker's writing. ref SDS 17 5760
481345 -  ..
481346 - On 911123 we discussed the advantage of SDS to improve on conventional
481347 - "feel good" management. ref SDS 2 4930
481348 -
481349 -      [On 960721 meeting notes from contracting parties that conflict,
481350 -      ref SDS 41 0896, and Morris' concern that Welch's SDS records are
481351 -      inaccurate, ref SDS 41 6666
481353 -       ..
481354 -      [See explanation of how technology can support "understanding" in
481355 -      paper for Morris, ref SDS 40 8201
481357 -  ..
481358 - This reflects analysis of Wiederhold's paper on Mediators, ref SDS 6
481359 - 7500, and earlier Campbell's explanation of the challenges to make AI
481360 - useful, ref SDS 1 3002.
481362 -  ..
481363 - A key concept in Communication Metrics to achieve common understanding
481364 - is that management is an "integrating" craft to harmonize resources
481365 - and interests which vary over time, ref OF 1 5884.  In order to get an
481366 - improvement of the management process, all of the elements of good
481367 - management have to be improved together, as explained in the paper on
481368 - POIMS. ref OF 1 2415
481370 -  ..
481371 - A key ingredient that is generally overlooked in efforts to improve
481372 - management is that executives are not aware of mistakes of induction
481373 - caused by divergent experience, discussed with Fluor Daniel on 960501.
481374 - ref SDS 32 6728.  The theory of inducation in cognitive science can
481375 - help bridge gaps in understanding among different people, as explained
481376 - in Landauer's paper reviewed on 960321. ref SDS 19 8888
481378 -       ..
481379 -      On 960518 "meaning drift" is defined similar to "Knowledge Creep"
481380 -      ref SDS 37 3734, in the NWO paper, ref OF 2 9449, that shows
481381 -      conflicting meeting notes reported on 960721, ref SDS 41 0896,
481382 -      and concern about inaccurate records, ref SDS 41 6666, eminate
481383 -      from of a common cause that is soleved by Communication Metrics.
481385 -  ..
481386 - I mentioned Dr. Landauer's paper on LSA in the record for 960321 that
481387 - sets out the role of induction under a theory of dimension matching,
481388 - ref SDS 19 2882, that causes people to give common information from
481389 - events like business meetings different meanings, based on their
481390 - experience, ref SDS 19 1234, from discussions with Fluor Daniel on
481391 - 960501. ref SDS 32 6728, reflecting Jeromy Campbell's observation
481392 - reviewed on 900303 that humans are not logic machines, they are
481393 - "experience machines." ref SDS 1 3002. The NWO paper says the mind is
481394 - too complex to replicate through AI, so, quoting Dr. Landauer, let's
481395 - instead look for things it can do that are helpful, ref OF 2 line
481396 - 1068, such as discover the mental pictures (paradigms) we have. Let's
481397 - leverage the capacity to think, remember and communicate.
481399 -  ..
481400 - I mentioned my sense that the IT industry is blinded to SDS by its
481401 - cultural paradigm of "data" and now "information" while I am working
481402 - on creating knowledge and wisdom, as a function of experience, as
481403 - discussed above. ref SDS 0 2222
481405 -  ..
481406 - We looked at the J.C. Penny observation on "vision." ref SDS 10 5622
481408 -  ..
481409 - Morris indicated Penny's point did not relate the role of experience
481410 - in extending "vision."
