131093 - earlier letter on 000426. ref SDS 34 0304 Doug's vision of ABC
131094 - improvement inherently establishes marketing criteria by calling for

131104 - Questions on alignment between OHS and ABC improvement include.....
131105 -
131106 - 1. There are no links in Jack's diagram, nor in Jack's letter to

131108 - authority, or backup, for this effort?

131111 - model to an online journal he calls Fleabyte. ref SDS A0

131115 - 2. Context, DKR and humans do not comprise a structure that is
131116 - readily grasped as logically related to human experience,
131117 - knowledge or intelligence. This needs to be explained.

131120 - 3. ABC associations in Jack's diagram do not have any evident
131121 - correlation to ABC defined in the record from Doug's work

131126 - getting "knowledge," and not more "information"?

131129 - What is the difference between "shared understanding," and
131130 - "collaborative knowledge," and how does this differ from

131180 - Content + Knowledge = DKR
131181 -
131182 - This seems to conflict with Jack's diagram, which does not
131183 - mention "content," and only lists knowledge as a part of
131184 - the DKR called "Collaborative Knowledge." Collaboration

131212 -
131213 - Humans are engaged "out there" doing cycle A, in which some
131214 - problem is being solved. Along the way, humans are also engaged at
131215 - Context making public statements which enter an IBIS discussion.
131216 - Eventually, some concensus is reached, new artifacts generated,
131217 - and humans experience the feedback of cycle C, folding it into
131218 - their own B cycles. ref DRP 4 287L
131219 -
131220 - Need example of "IBIS" discussion anyone is having, and how
131221 - it is shown in the Bootstrap diagram?
131222 -
131224 - ..
131225 - "A" activity is associated with public statements, i.e.,
131226 - dialog, on solving problems, in Jack's diagram.
131227 -
131228 - On 991222 Doug describes "A" activity as R&D, marketing,
131229 - manufacturing, operations, etc. ref SDS 25 1550 Such work
131230 - necessarily occurs in both public and private statements,
131231 - so the correlation is not clear.

131236 - On 991222 Doug describes "B" activity as improving the
131237 - work of "A" stuff, and so includes training, mentoring,
131238 - attending seminars, getting an MBA, procurement and
131239 - fielding tool systems, like a PC, a backhoe, light bulb,

131245 -
131246 - On 991222 Doug describes "C" activity as acquiring new
131247 - knowledge for improving "B" work, so it entails improving
131248 - training, making MBA relevant, research for better tools
131249 - and new skills, pilot testing and experimenting.

131266 - coincides with those already expressed by Douglas Engelbart. On
131267 - that assumption, I shall take this a bit further. ref DRP 4 488H

131274 - closer to Jack's rendering today. Such soucrce needs to be

411105 - Jack says....
411106 -
411107 - In the conduct of design of an OHS -- any rendition of an OHS, for
411108 - that matter -- my view is that the important issues to resolve up
411109 - front are those associated with the API that allows Context to
411110 - talk to DKR. When such an API is created -- itself a part of
411111 - bootstrap cycles, then becomes possible to implement all sorts of
411112 - variants along the OHS theme. So long as they all implement the
411113 - API, they all are intended (by design) to be interoperable.
411114 - ref DRP 4 W68L
411115 -
411116 - OHS needs explanation and scenarios showing use by various
411117 - players, to provide orientation relative to present practice,
411118 - per SDS typical day scenario.
411120 - ..
411121 - On 000726 Jack submitted a letter that explained requirements
411122 - for API. ref SDS 42 FG5G

411133 -
411134 - The Context package includes Human Computer Interface (HCI)
411135 - systems that enable a variety of OHS features, such as Topic Map
411136 - navigation, email, forums, conferences, chat, document
411137 - manipulation, IBIS, SDS, and so forth, each of which is supported
411138 - by way of the infrastructure constructed within DKR and exposed by
411139 - way of the API. ref DRP 4 YA9I
411140 -
411141 - All of this stuff already exists, so what does OHS add?
411143 - ..
411144 - Need scenarios, use cases.
411145 -
411147 - ..
411148 - Jack feels OHS enables bootstrapping improvements....
411149 -
411150 - In summary, I am illustrating three specific kinds of bootstraping
411151 - here. The A cycles are those in which society plays out its roles
411152 - bootstrapping solutions to the complex, urgent problems that Doug
411153 - and others describe. The B cycles represent individual growth and
411154 - learning, and the C cycles, enabled by way of OHS, represent
411155 - societal growth and learning. At the same time, I am making the
411156 - claim that job one lies in the evolution (bootstraping) of an API
411157 - that allows OHS implementations to emerge.

571021 - ..
571022 - Societal growth and learning is already occurring in various
571023 - ways that take hundreds of years for people to gain experience
571024 - while enabling forces for improvement come into alignment. How
571025 - will OHS improve or supplement this method?
571027 - ..
571028 - The record on 960612 reports Lynn Conway found ignorance, fear
571029 - and denial is a cultural obsticle to helping people improve
571030 - daily work by introducing new methods. ref SDS 9 1368 This
571031 - was cited at Intel on 990527. ref SDS 16 1233 Therefore, why
571032 - isn't it more important to address this barriar, than to
571033 - formulate another API? We already have a lot of APIs. Another
571034 - may not cause harm, but will it overcome ignorance, fear and
571035 - denial that prevents people from moving to a culture of
571036 - knowledge? If people cannot address this constructively, then
571037 - an API will not be helpful? So the burning question has to be
571038 - how to help people discover the value that intelligence adds
571039 - to information in order to produce knowledge, explained in
571040 - POIMS. ref OF 2 K84L
571041 - ..
571042 - For example, Doug seems to call for pilot testing as one
571043 - way to learn, see 991222. ref SDS 25 5402 How can we get
571044 - folks to pilot test SDS, if they don't want to do that
571045 - activity, i.e., ignorance prevents them from grasping they
571046 - will discover, i.e., learn, they really want to do it? How do
571047 - we overcome ignorance, fear and denial with OHS, DKR or
571048 - anything other than women and liquor, which Howard Hughes and
571049 - others have found effective. see 010114. ref SDS 66 9GWA
