291602 -
291603 - Explained in POIMS paper and the NWO book "intelligence" and linking

292001 - 00401  Added Explanation of Intelligence, Link Summary to Detail
292002 -
292003 - There are two explanations in Welch publications on the subject of
292004 - linking summary to detail:
292005 -
292006 -     [On 980903 Morris came up with a good working definition of
292007 -     business intelligence. ref SDS 69 1650]
292008 -
292009 -  ..
292010 -
292011 - POIMS explains summary linked to detail expands span of attention...
292012 -
292013 -    1.  In the first few paragraphs under the heading...
292014 -
292015 -               Technology Can Improve Leadership
292016 -
292017 -        a.  The complexity of "managing" is hidden by the mind's
292018 -            ability to summarize a lot of details into simple "common
292019 -            sense" solutions. ref OF 1 8536
292020 -
292021 -            On 970721 this was explained as the mind buffering to avoid
292022 -            constant exposure to error. ref SDS 26 0120
292023 -            ..
292024 -        b.  Intelligence is defined as relying on experience,
292025 -            with link to Campbell's book. ref SDS 1 3002
292026 -
292027 -            Conscious decisions entail proactive investigation to align
292028 -            understandings with background and authority, per
292029 -            discussion with Morris on 960721. ref SDS 26 2768
292030 -
292031 -            Subconscious decisions are "gut feelings" based on summary
292032 -            disconnected from relevant details, ref OF 1 3385 and also
292033 -            at ref OF 1 0557, as developed from Campbell's book on
292034 -            900303. ref SDS 1 0405
292035 -
292036 -              [On 980815 article on US foreign policy "Intelligence"
292037 -              failures stem from too much information, not enough
292038 -              understanding. ref SDS 67 1173]
292039 -            ..
292040 -        c.  Introduce limited span of attention. ref OF 1 2050
292041 -
292042 -            Cite information overload. ref OF 1 12995
292043 -        ..
292044 -    2.  Intelligence is defined under Cognitive Science.
292045 -        ref OF 1 0582,
292046 -
292047 -        Connecting summary to detail is explained in this section to
292048 -        illustrate parallel processing in the microcosm of the
292049 -        subconsious mind, ref OF 1 0557, which otherwise overwhelms the
292050 -        linear, sequential processing performed by the conscious span
292051 -        of attention. ref OF 1 8774
292052 -
292053 -        Intelligence summarizes management details for "alignment,"
292054 -        "oganization," and "analysis," ref OF 1 3955, per work on
292055 -        971007. ref SDS 31 3474
292056 -
292057 -        Morris and I considered this on 980405. ref SDS 38 2573
292058 -        ..
292059 -        Background is at...
292060 -
292061 -             Complexity of management......950718, ref SDS 11 9559
292062 -             Complexity summarized.........960519, ref SDS 21 0001
292063 -
292064 -
292065 -    3.  Management is defined as planning and preparation to overcome
292066 -        limited span of attention, so that good management practices
292067 -        can used consistently. ref OF 1 8559 and ref OF 1 9878
292068 -
292069 -        An example of a "quarterback" is given to exemplify the role of
292070 -        management that devises strategies for handling possible
292071 -        situations.  This reflects the 49ers and Bill Walsh approach to
292072 -        offense, per planning for Asilomar on 951114. ref SDS 15 1276,
292073 -        and previously, Walsh's speaking engagement at a DEC event on
292074 -        951010. ref SDS 13 9558  I actually linked the earlier record
292075 -        on 901008. ref SDS 2 6993
292076 -        ..
292077 -        On 960721 discussed need for consistent use of good
292078 -        management practices with Morris on Asilomar review.
292079 -        ref SDS 26 2768
292080 -
292081 -    4.  Explanation of POIMS that supports linking summary to detail is
292082 -        at ref OF 1 2688, and this is linked back to ref OF 1 0557.
292083 -        ..
292084 -    5.  Virtual Office, paperless office, Repository of
292085 -        Experience and Knowledge Space are related goals that apply
292086 -        linking summary to detail. ref OF 1 0690
292087 -
292088 -        "Intelligence" web page shows these features. ref OF 8 2646
292089 -
292090 -            [On 980813 Morris felt that support for human memory would
292091 -            be useful for management. ref SDS 66 6438]
292092 -
292093 -         ..
292094 -
292095 -    6.  Clear, concise and complete communication is supported by
292096 -        linking summary to detail. ref OF 1 1218  The concept was added
292097 -        to the web page on 980723. ref SDS 65 2759
292098 -
292099 -
292100 -  ..
292101 -
292102 - New World Order paper explains...
292103 -
292104 -    1.  In the beginning explaining limited span of attention...
292105 -
292106 -        The human mind builds meaning by summarizing the detailed
292107 -        chronology of events into related blocks of information, called
292108 -        "stories," that have a beginning an end and a lesson or rule
292109 -        about cause and effect. ref OF 2 4235
292110 -
292111 -    2.  Intelligence is defined as connecting summary to detail in the
292112 -        paper at ref OF 2 7519, and has a link to the explanation of
292113 -        the organic process of building larging meanings from bits, to
292114 -        information, to vision, at ref OF 2 5846.
292115 -        ..
292116 -        This location, ref OF 2 7492, is a link to the POIMS
292117 -        paper which explains linking summary to detail is analogous to
292118 -        the conscious and subconscious mind, ref OF 1 0557, per
292119 -        Campbell's book reviewed on 900303. ref SDS 1 6831 and article
292120 -        in Time on 960409. ref SDS 19 0505
292121 -

292128 - Detailed analysis of summary linked to detail was done on 960519. see

292130 - ..
292131 - On 950626 developed rationale for linking summary to detail in
292132 - order to understand both context and the "big picture." ref SDS 10
292133 - 2772
292134 -
292135 - Since we say that POIMS supports clear, concise and complete
292136 - communications, decided to add this to the POIMS paper, since it is
292137 - not covered in the NWO paper either. ref OF 1 1218
