121102 -
121103 - There was a mixup in reviewing the record for 991103.  Based on
121104 - further discussion today, Jeanne will review the letter on 991103,
121105 - ref DIP 4 0001, and contact me about her understanding of meaning
121106 - drift and the solution of alignment, explained in the record on
121107 - 991101. ref SDS 25 1448
121108 -
121109 - Didn't discuss Communication Training. ref SDS 0 5933

121111 - She will visit with Mark today about progress scheduling a meeting on
121112 - Team Care issues. ref SDS 0 0966

121502 - Meaning Drift Makes Communication Biggest Risk in Enterprise
121503 -
121504 - Jeanne has not read the letter, ref DIP 4 0001 submitted on 991103,
121505 - ref SDS 26 0001, confirming action items and the explanation of the
121506 - cause of medical mistakes, meaning drift, and the solution, alignment,
121507 - reviewed with Jeannie on 991101. ref SDS 25 2800
121508 - ..
121509 - Jeanne recalled we talked on 991101, ref SDS 25 1180, and that
121510 - she read a letter on 991101. ref DIP 3 0001  She explained having
121511 - thought that the letter and discussion were related, and therefore
121512 - assumed that the letter on 991103 was on another matter, which she was
121513 - planning to read today.
121514 -
121515 - I explained that the letter on 991101 was to set an agenda for the
121516 - discussion later that day, and that the letter on 991103 confirms the
121517 - understandings of our discusion on 991101.
121518 -
121519 - Jeanne noted this is an example of a mental mistake called...
121520 -
121521 -
121522 -                        meaning drift
121523 -
121524 -
121525 - ...in the 990924 letter on medical mistakes, ref DIP 1 1680, and that
121526 - she requested an explanation of the meaning drift problem in our
121527 - discussion on 991101. ref SDS 25 2800
121528 -
121529 - Meaning drift is explained in NWO... paper. ref OF 1 9449
121530 -
121531 - A letter to Morris Jones at Intel, ref DIP 2 5933, explains that
121532 - communication becomes maddeningly complex, and overwhelms the minds
121533 - ability to remember sequence of chronology, sent 991014. ref SDS 19
121534 - 5600  Just a few letters and the passage of time lead to strong
121535 - memories that are incorrect.  The SDS tool is a much stronger way to
121536 - remember chronology, and thereby avoid the fear and aversion to having
121537 - a bunch of papers to keep organized, which always turns out to be a
121538 - losing battle.  If people have so much trouble keeping documents
121539 - organized, then it stands to reason that our thoughts are much more
121540 - jumbled than we realize.  The difference is that we can see the papers
121541 - messed up, but we cannot look into the mind and see a jumble of mixed
121542 - up thoughts.
