370501 - Follow up ref SDS 59 W93D, ref SDS 57 0001.
370502 -
370503 - Jack supports developing formal education on Knowledge Management that
370504 - reflects SDS methodologies set out in POIMS and NWO.  He cited a
370505 - growing body of academic classes and publications on Knowledge
370506 - Management, but none have led, nor seem likely to lead, toward a
370507 - technology, like SDS, that augments human capabilities for doing
370508 - knowledge work.  Jack indicated a one year pilot test for the DKR team
370509 - to learn how KM works using SDS, would be helpful. The action item
370510 - review meeting in the letter to Eric Armstrong could introduce the
370511 - pilot test plan. ref SDS 0 X48O

370902 - Education Needed for Knowledge Management
370903 -
370904 - Jack indicated support for the idea of co-evolution of education to
370905 - foster a culture of knowledge that is able to use KM technology, as
370906 - related in the letter to Doug's SRI team, ref DIP 4 0001, on 000920.

370909 -     [On 010821 Jack cited co-evolution is endemic to OHS planning.
370910 -     ref SDS 64 XX4O
370912 -  ..
370913 - He said a lot of universities have begun to form classes and develop
370914 - curriculum for Knowledge Management.  Jack said there are magazines
370915 - and other publications that now have Knowledge Management in the
370916 - title, which shows interest in the subject.
370918 -  ..
370919 - Jack feels efforts in formal education and the popular media do not
370920 - present Knowledge Management in the manner accomplished by SDS that
370921 - enhances human intelligence, explained in POIMS. ref OF 1 0561
370923 -  ..
370924 - I asked why none of the people on Doug's team, either locally, nor
370925 - around the world, have commented on POIMS, or the NWO, which contain
370926 - the basic recipe for using technology to aid human thinking?
370927 - ref OF 1 6649
370929 -  ..
370930 - The team is constantly looking at web sites and sending notices urging
370931 - examination of various technologies as potentially contributing to a
370932 - Knowledge Management capability.  None of these notices are
370933 - accompanied by an explanation of how referenced technologies augment
370934 - human intelligence or advance Knowledge Management.  There is never a
370935 - scenario offered on how referenced technologies would be applied to
370936 - solve a world problem, build a bridge, fix the car or dig a ditch,
370937 - cited in the letter on subject management (ontology), ref DIP 3 3250,
370938 - on 000606. ref SDS 36 HV4F

370940 -        [On 051113 NWO cites Tesla invented alternating electrical
370941 -        current for public utilities was ignored and rubbished by
370942 -        experts with faith in a fiction impenetrable by truth.

370945 -  ..
370946 - On 000120 this challenge was submitted to the team, ref SDS 8 3071,
370947 - based on Eric Armstrong's proposal for the DKR to solve the energy
370948 - problem. ref SDS 8 7592
370950 -  ..
370951 - In all this time, for nine (9) months, while Jack and others have
370952 - cited "Rod's white papers" as a source for review, nobody on the team
370953 - has cited a single paragraph, sentence or even a word in POIMS, nor
370954 - NWO, which contain a path, possibly the only path based on the work at
370955 - SRI these past months, for using technology to accomplish the nominal
370956 - objective of the project: to lift the capacity to think, remember and
370957 - communicate, see POIMS. ref OF 1 6528
370958 -
370959 -        [On 001031 Jack Park reported that while people complained
370960 -        about not having enough knowledge to develop Knowledge
370961 -        Management, someone sitting in the meetings had been doing
370962 -        Knowledge Management for umpteen years, and had helped the team
370963 -        for 9 months. ref SDS 62 0S8L
370965 -  ..
370966 - On 000504 Jack described Welch ideas as "things we don't talk about
370967 - around here," ref SDS 22 XD5M, reflecting difficulting on 000405
370968 - getting the OHS/DKR team to consider the SDS design that uses a diary
370969 - and journal model to implement requirements for managing time to track
370970 - chronology. ref SDS 17 PSXS  Recently, on 000907 Jack submitted an
370971 - article to the team that explained the role of chronology using a
370972 - diary to track "trains of thought." ref SDS 58 HV5O  Jack cited the
370973 - SDS records on the Internet for implementation. ref SDS 58 E37M
370975 -  ..
370976 - Merely citing a website is not enough to pioneer a path to a new
370977 - frontier that transforms from information to a culture of knowledge.
370979 -  ..
370980 - Conspiracy of silence sustains ignorance of POIMS theory and practice
370981 - applying cognitive science, computer science, and management science
370982 - to augment intelligence.
370984 -  ..
370985 - Education relieves failure to recognize the explanation in POIMS for
370986 - converting information into knowledge.  This requires applying the
370987 - language in POIMS to SDS work product that people are encountering on
370988 - the project to lift the cloud of darkness.  However, fear, and denial
370989 - renders people blind to new realities, and to workings of cognitive
370990 - science, which remains a mystery to most people, as set out in NWO.
370991 - ref OF 3 42HC  Even so, Knowledge Management entails continual
370992 - learning by stepping "out of the box" to write about new ideas.
370993 -
370995 -  ..
370996 - Peer Pressure Prevents Going First to Present Seminal Ideas Methods
370997 -
370998 - Jack commented that citing POIMS and Welch methods has not caught on
370999 - with the team.  He does not understand why, but feels funny being the
371000 - only person to cite Welch as authority to guide development of
371001 - Knowledge Management capabilities, even though there are 20K records
371002 - demonstrating ability to perform for 15 years.  It's hard going first.

371011 -        [On 001116 Jack Park letter to OHS/DKR team meeting at SRI
371012 -        reports SDS records on the Internet demonstrate amazing ability
371013 -        to accomplish Knowledge Management that validates claims in
371014 -        POIMS. ref SDS 63 953G
371016 -  ..
371017 - This is evident from Tesla's development of alternating current (AC),
371018 - that eventually became the operating system for the 20th century, but
371019 - was initially resisted by everyone, because everybody is afraid to go
371020 - first. (see NWO. ref OF 3 GU5F  Later Atanasoff encountered ignorance,
371021 - fear, and denial at IBM, who refused to embrace the magic of digital
371022 - design for computers, untill somebody else went first.  ref OF 3 0S5N
371023 - Mauchly wound getting the "short straw" going first to develop digital
371024 - computers, but only by a fluke. ref OF 3 OP5G
371026 -         ..
371027 -        [On 040312 going first to recognize ideas and writings that are
371028 -        outside group acceptance is a common social, cultural dilemma
371029 -        slows progress of Knowledge Management, incuding the scientific
371030 -        community; people feel more comfortable rubbishing and ignoring
371031 -        better ideas than to incur disaffection of colleagues.

371040 -  ..
371041 - Silence at SRI reflects experience at Intel.  On 990713 Morris Jones
371042 - requested engineers and marketing managers charged to find new
371043 - applications for microprocessors to review a grant proposal for SDS.
371044 - He got two replies saying adding intelligence to convert information
371045 - into knowledge was funny, ref SDS 4 1767, and that using computers to
371046 - work intelligently was alien. ref SDS 4 2150
371048 -  ..
371049 - Jack feels ideas in POIMS and NWO are so far removed from experience
371050 - of people, that everyone finds it hard to grasp importance.  He
371051 - indicated that the Welch SDS record on the web supporting Doug's DKR
371052 - project, seems beyond the reach of team members to replicate, so they
371053 - cannot address SDS capability constructively.  On 000405 Bill Bearden
371054 - aluded to this problem. ref SDS 17 3877  Jack noted the references
371055 - people make to technologies on the web are similar to, but may seem
371056 - possibly better, than methods people are already using, so they seem
371057 - worth mentioning to everyone, even though they do not really lead to
371058 - Knowledge Management.

371063 -        ref SDS 66 C58G
371065 -  ..
371066 - It is another KM dilemma:  people do not understand KM, per the team
371067 - meeting at SRI on 000615, ref SDS 39 6271, so they cannot comment when
371068 - they encounter it, i.e., the human mind is isolated by its experience

371072 -  ..
371073 - One Year Review of SDS to Learn KM
371074 -
371075 - We considered proposing to Doug's team that they use SDS for a year to
371076 - gain experience, i.e., a feel, for how technology can actually augment
371077 - intelligence, then return to the task of building tools.
371078 -
371079 - Jack supports this idea.
371081 -  ..
371082 - He feels it is critical to distribute SDS so that more people can
371083 - learn how to accomplish Knowledge Management, as set out in the
371084 - letter, ref DIP 4 006P, to the team (addressed to Henry van Eykan) on
371085 - 000920. ref SDS 59 2V5F
371087 -  ..
371088 - I mentioned the need to fashion terms that would protect Welch IP
371089 - interests.  Jack feels this is a challenge for open source projects,
371090 - as Doug is contemplating.  Team contributors feel strongly they should
371091 - get software for free in exchange for making improvements.  Everyone
371092 - will want to propose this and that before they have the experience to
371093 - know what to propose that advances KM.

371099 - Jack indicated the proposal to conduct an action item review meeting,
371100 - in the letter, ref DIP 5 009J, to Eric Armstrong on 000921, would help
371101 - people grasp the power of SDS, and the need to learn more about KM
371102 - before trying to build tools. ref SDS 60 0001
371104 -  ..
371105 - He suggests posting the action item list, so people can experience
371106 - the power of SDS to organize information based on context.
