301510 - Morris suggests explaining Communication Metrics as "memory" rather
301511 - than "intelligence." ref DRT 1 6781  This aligns with Morris' idea on
301512 - 940327 that SDS support for linking is a self-evident benefit for

301514 - dates, which is hard to do without SDS. ref SDS 5 J496  Later, on
