040503 - Uncle Jim submits ref DRT 1 0001 responding to my letter ref DIP 1
040504 - 0000, submitting notes of a meeting with General Hatch, ref SDS 9
040505 - 0000, and the paper on Obstacles to Leadership written for Morris to
040506 - deliver at the Asilomar Conference. ref OF 1 0000

040509 - He requests a short explanation of how the mind converts information
040510 - into knowledge, saying in part....
040511 -
040512 -         I looked at the meeting with General Hatch on April 10 where
040513 -         you discussed using Communication Metrics for daily
040514 -         management. ref SDS 9 NI3I  His comment about reading your New
040515 -         World Order... paper 3 times caught my attention. ref DRT 1
040516 -         0001
040518 -          ..
040519 -         Hatch addresses your point about information being different
040520 -         from knowledge, which I disputed a few years ago (shown in the
040521 -         record on 940722, ref SDS 1 8388)  I also found Hatch's
040522 -         comments on December 29, 1995 describing Com Metrics as an
040523 -         "intelligence" function for management. ref SDS 7 2036  I need
040524 -         you to set out differences between information and knowledge
040525 -         so that I can really think about the proposition of an
040526 -         "intelligence" process, which seems to me is the heart of Com
040527 -         Metrics discussed in your meeting with General Hatch.  Just a
040528 -         single paragraph telling me how you perceive information being
040529 -         transmitted to the brain and the brain process that gives it a
040530 -         flavor of knowledge that is somehow different from
040531 -         information. Therefore superfluity in the old "id"!

040535 -      [On 970425 sent report by USACE on Com Metrics that answers Uncle
040536 -      Jim's question about the difference between information and
040537 -      knowledge. ref SDS 13 0000
040539 -       ..
040540 -      [On 970522 Uncle Jim comments favorably on Com Metrics,
040541 -      ref SDS 14 0001, urges persistence based on experience in the
040542 -      Pentagon evaluating proposals for new methods where only 10%
040543 -      turned out to be useful; causing people who make initial reviews
040544 -      to become cynnical and skeptical, and leading to only cursory
040545 -      analysis. ref SDS 14 PP5L
040547 -  ..
040548 - He also says Uncle Roy is failing at the Veterans Hospital in
040549 - Yountville.  Uncle Jim and Aunt Barbara are taking a short trip to
040550 - Victoria.  He wants me to assist Rita, as needed, if Uncle Roy should
040551 - pass away while Uncle Jim and Aunt Baraba are out of town,...
