1109 - Summary/Objective
1110 -
111001 - Follow up ref SDS 37 8C4K, ref SDS 35 WZ9G.
111002 -
111003 - Changed the design that was failing for the function that conforms
111004 - Control Field descriptions to accounts in the Subject Index.
111005 - ref SDS 0 I35L The new design uses a separate memory segment to avoid
111006 - failure, and applies the code scheme developed last September that has
111007 - proven reliable to support organic structures in the Subject Index.
111008 - ref SDS 0 IR6J Code from a more recent improvement was, also, used to
111009 - further improve reliability. ref SDS 0 IR9J Added functionality to
111010 - list common descriptions for multiple views only once, ref SDS 0 RE4M,
111011 - and to include in the list notice when an account in the Control Field
111012 - is not in the Subject Index, so that maintenance can be performed. A
111013 - new diagnostic aid was developed to further reduce maintenance time by
111014 - placing the Control Field line number in column 79 for each Subject
111015 - description. ref SDS 0 2N97 Utility added today seems to increase
111016 - usefulness, which encourages increased use. A case study analysis
111017 - suggests "lessons learned" showing positive synergy from dynamics of
111018 - favorable application compound productivity gains, forecast by Moore's
111019 - Law. ref SDS 0 JT5F

111402 - Context Management Improved by Automated Control Field Maintenance
111403 - Control Field Subject Maintenance Automated Improve Context Management
111404 -
111405 - Changes today make context management faster and easier by increasing
111406 - the power of knowledge applying the flexible structure of SDS, defined
111407 - on 890523, ref SDS 2 P13O, to create, edit and copy organic structures
111408 - that position information in Knowledge Space, defined in POIMS.
111409 - ref OF 9 034J This adds to growing the list of improvements shown on
111410 - 000824, ref SDS 13 IW5I, that strengthen command and control of the
111411 - work, explained in POIMS. ref OF 13 1113
111412 -
111413 - [On 040307 improved navigation in Knowledge Space with new
111414 - functions to manage chained index segments for organic subject
111415 - structures. ref SDS 45 FG5H
111417 - ..
111418 - The underlying improvement strengthens maintenance on subjects for
111419 - both Control Fields and the Subject Index. In other words, while a
111420 - single function was upgraded on managing Control Fields, the effect
111421 - was to make practical a larger body of tasks for managing "knowledge."
111422 - ref SDS 0 Z88N
111424 - ..
111425 - Previously, the 04405 code had problems for several common use cases.
111426 - ref SDS 0 I35L The switch today from 04405 to the combination of
111427 - macros 035012 and 03501, that have proven reliable for 6 months,
111428 - brings power and stability to this feature, ref SDS 0 5U5F, which
111429 - previously was spotty, and so was used sparingly, as explained under
111430 - "Problem," below. ref SDS 0 I35L Unleashing the ability to use the
111431 - feature frequently, as a matter of volition based on situational
111432 - awareness, discussed below, ref SDS 0 JT5F, yields compound benefits
111433 - under Moore's Law, as a result of integration with other SDS features,
111434 - ref SDS 0 5U42, including several that are added today,
111436 - ..
111437 - Several new features have been added to this function, in addition to
111438 - making operations more reliable....
111439 -
111441 - ..
111442 - Tending Garden of Knowledge Fast and Easy
111443 -
111444 - 1. The program now automatically removes common subjects from
111445 - multiple views in the Index to save time, effort and emotional
111446 - strain of manual editing that previously limited use of this
111447 - function in order to avoid having to think about collateral
111448 - issues, which are largely eliminated today.
111449 -
111450 -
111452 - ..
111453 - Maintenance of Organic Subject Structures with New Diagnostics
111454 -
111455 - 2. Context management can be performed with diagnostics that
111456 - identify subjects in a Control Field that no longer exist in
111457 - the Subject Index. Listing mismatches for review and action
111458 - (either deleting from the Control Field, or adding to the data
111459 - base), when time is available, is much more effective than the
111460 - prior design that halted operations and forced the user to stop
111461 - thinking and doing work in progress, to invest time adjusting
111462 - the system, as occurred with the prior code in 04405.
111464 - ..
111465 - The SDS design for flexible structure, explained on 890523,
111466 - ref SDS 2 T15F, applies organic structures in the Subject Index
111467 - that continually grow, like DNA, explained in NWO. ref OF 14
111468 - 5846 Daily work entails routine parsing of accounts into
111469 - components of lower organic structure, based on ensuing
111470 - experience from the time a subject is assigned to a record.
111471 - Subsequent work on the record that occasions refreshing the
111472 - list of subject descriptions reveals a mismatch. These errors
111473 - are now readily evident so that...
111475 - ..
111476 - Tending the Garden of Knowledge
111477 -
111478 - ...is fast and easy, an essential paradigm shift, described in
111479 - NWO, ref OF 15 6369, for advancing beyond traditional
111480 - information technology, enabled by SDS, as set out in POIMS.
111481 - ref OF 10 SV5N

111483 -
111485 - ..
111486 - Diagnostics Enable Situational Awareness and Focus Attention
111487 -
111488 - 3. A simple diagnostic system is added today placing the line
111489 - number in col 79 to directly associate a description with a
111490 - Control Field subject. This new visual aid expands situational
111491 - awareness that enables people to quickly investigate and make
111492 - corrections, when time is available, to maintain the vitality
111493 - of the record.

170705 - Improvements today complement the new function for F3 and Shift F3
170706 - developed on 040120 to transfer Control Fields from another record,
170707 - ref SDS 39 0S47, by making it fast and easy to conform subject
170708 - descriptions, solving the problem reported by Gary on 040215, per
170709 - below. ref SDS 0 I35L
170711 - ..
170712 - Now that the task has been reduced to a few seconds, experience shows
170713 - that Subject descriptions for a Control Field add value to the record
170714 - by expanding span of attention, when used regularly, rather than
170715 - sparingly, under the prior conditions. The list of subjects
170716 - constructed for the record on 010725 in about 60 seconds, provides a
170717 - powerful summary of the meaning for the record segment. Timely and
170718 - accurate understanding of "meaning" drives productivity and is a core
170719 - deliverable of SDS.

2105 -
210601 - ..
210602 - Program More Stable and Reliable Using Virtual Memory Management
210603 -
210604 - Memory management is improved, because processing is now mostly
210605 - performed in a separate memory segment, where fragmented memory is
210606 - isolated to the process, and so does not impact primary operations
210607 - working with the record. ref SDS 0 IR6J Improvement was illustrated
210608 - by testing the new system on the record for 010725, per above.
210609 - ref SDS 0 CN9G
210610 -
210612 - ..
210613 - Tests Show New Design Robust Fast Reliable
210614 -
210615 - Testing upgraded feature on the record for 040301 that was failing
210616 - with the prior system, and led to work on this task showed that the
210617 - new code successfully processed that record, per below. ref SDS 0 WN7K
210618 - Testing other records shows consistent success. Tested the record for
210619 - 010725 reviewing Wayne Wetzel's report on using SDS at DNRC. This is
210620 - one of the biggest records in the data base. The prior code in 04405
210621 - could not be used in large records like 010725 because memory would
210622 - fail. Here are results...
210623 -
210624 - 1. The new design updated a large Control Field containing 66
210625 - subjects in about 1.5 seconds using a 1.4 GHz system. The
210626 - operation did not fail nor in any way cause the computer to
210627 - freeze, as occurred previously with 04405.
210629 - ..
210630 - 2. Reported two (2) subject accounts in the Control Field were
210631 - no longer in the Subject Index. Fixing this problem took
210632 - less than 30 seconds, because the new system displays the
210633 - account code and the line number, per planning below.
210634 - ref SDS 0 RE5G The problems in both cases were that, since
210635 - the date when the record was prepared on 010725, the
210636 - original codes have been parsed into lower levels of organic
210637 - structure for better command and control. It took only a
210638 - few seconds to select and enter a revised subject account.
210639 - Reducing maintenance to seconds, increases maintenance that
210640 - ensures a relevant record is available when needed.
210642 - ..
210643 - 3. The new design, that removes common descriptions of
210644 - multiple views for subjects, produced a manageable list of
210645 - only about 26 unique descriptions. This was further pared
210646 - down, by investing about 60 seconds for manual review, to
210647 - about 18, which triples span of attention that innately is
210648 - limited to less than 7, especially when hurried, as
210649 - reported on 990303. ref SDS 6 5328 This methodology
210650 - applies the POIMS concept of recycling intellectual capital
210651 - under the law of conservation of knowledge, explained in
210652 - POIMS. ref OF 12 G15N Previously, because the task was so
210653 - large, typically, a large list of Subject Descriptions was
210654 - simply arbitrarily reduced with the delete function.

240503 - Modular Design Makes Innovation Fast and Easy and Fun
240504 -
240505 - The work today applies the modular design that builds components and
240506 - then assembles the components in different ways to accomplish wide
240507 - ranging tasks that augment intelligence and improve productivity. An
240508 - example is code in 007003 developed on 040120 to capture control field
240509 - lines for replication. This code is applied today for a completely
240510 - different task to put a list of subject accounts from a Control Field
240511 - into a transfer file for processing in a secondary memory segment.
240512 - ref SDS 0 T24K The design of the transfer file on 030902 and later
240513 - refined on 030920 anticipated the need for flexible application, so
240514 - adding a new process merely required adding a flag, and then
240515 - integrating the new process into the existing code. Very little
240516 - additional code was required.
240518 - ..
240519 - An issue arises why this common practice of mixing and matching
240520 - ingredients to create better tools is not occurring at Microsoft,
240521 - Oracle, IBM, MIT, Stanford, Aerospace company and so forth, to lift the capacity
240522 - to think, remember and communicate, as SDS does, noted by Morris on
240523 - 010924? ref SDS 19 NK4J On 950710 Tom Laundauer explains in his book
240524 - "The Trouble with Computers" that engineers don't how to program
240525 - computers to help people think. ref SDS 4 3375 So, in fact,
240526 - scientists and engineers at venerable institutions are doing a lot of
240527 - mixing and matching of ingredients, but have not yet discovered the
240528 - ingredients for advancing from information to a culture of knowledge.

320707 - Experience today provides a case study illustrating the theory of SDS
320708 - that the scientific method of plan, perform, report is closely related
320709 - to the intelligence process of converting information into knowledge,
320710 - set out in POIMS. ref OF 12 6649 Background on the scientific method
320711 - was submitted by Gary on 021118. ref SDS 27 N39H.
320713 - ..
320714 - Another way to say the same thing is that using SDS according to the
320715 - design that supports the scientific method, based on an intelligence
320716 - model of plan, perform, report, as called out in POIMS, ref OF 11
320717 - 1103, enables continual learning, advocated by Toffler's et al.,
320718 - reported on 950911, ref SDS 5 2222, and which, in turn, implements
320719 - Doug Engelbart's ideas for a "C" type activity, reviewed on 991222.

320721 - technology to support learning and organization. ref SDS 43 5U6J
320723 - ..
320724 - The initial plan today was to solve a problem reported in the record
320725 - by fixing an SDS tool. ref SDS 0 I35L Planning began with reviewing
320726 - background, ref SDS 0 IQ8L, and analysis then yielded an insight that
320727 - indicated a more creative solution was possible. ref SDS 0 IR3K The
320728 - subsequent interplay between performing the work to carry out the
320729 - plan, ref SDS 0 IR6J, and reporting on the work performed, yielded
320730 - concurrent discovery of a path to a much better design that reduced
320731 - the size of the code and expanded benefits. ref SDS 0 PVVY In this
320732 - case, reporting on correlations implications and nuance aided planning
320733 - and performance to develop SDS functionality well beyond what was
320734 - contemplated in undertaking the original task. ref SDS 0 BS3N
320736 - ..
320737 - These results applying the scientific method help explain how using
320738 - SDS, according to the design, leads to unique technology, reported on
320739 - 000425, ref SDS 12 0480, noted by Jack Park on 001130, ref SDS 15 H17O,
320740 - and by Morris Jones on 010425, ref SDS 16 EP7F, and again on 010924,

430607 - Improvements today are a natural progression from creating initial
430608 - functionality for Knowledge Space, and then learning through extended
430609 - experience about problems and limitations, and, also, recognizing new
430610 - opportunities for expanded functionality that have emerged from
430611 - expanding and strengthening other integrated tools that together yield
430612 - a big enough gain in productivity to justify investing time for adding
430613 - another incremental advance made today. Gary has previously noted the
430614 - importance of integration to SDS productivity, e.g., on 030316,
430615 - ref SDS 31 EV4N, and recently on 040301 in a letter to Jack Park at

430621 - and enter replication with F3. ref SDS 50 5I7M
430623 - ..
430624 - Studying the case today on improving SDS shows how poor, unreliable
430625 - technology causes bad management, in this case occasional and poor
430626 - maintenance of Control Fields and organic structure, despite knowing
430627 - that failure to perform this common good management practice to
430628 - organize the record, reduces productivity.
430630 - ..
430631 - Ignoring good practice on context management has been justified in the
430632 - past, because there were 10 - 20 other tasks that also took time for
430633 - good management, and there are only 24 hours in a day. As a result,
430634 - up until now, short cuts were used to avoid investing mental and
430635 - emotional energy in thinking about correlations between subject
430636 - accounts and Control Fields, because this part of Knowledge Management
430637 - is very tedious and takes a lot of hard work, as found by research
430638 - reported on 000307 by the team meeting at SRI. ref SDS 11 5362 Review
430639 - of experience using the prior capability yields a case study that
430640 - supports the Boy Scout knapsack analogy explaining, on 990816, better
430641 - technology improves willingness, personal resolve and diligence to use
430642 - good management, ref SDS 8 2880, and that, until a critical level of
430643 - "near volition" is reached, people feel that good management to "work
430644 - intelligently," as explained in POIMS, ref OF 9 1X6G, is too much hard
430645 - work using familiar skills, takes too much time using familiar tools,
430646 - is too tedious and too boring.

460607 - Review on 040216 showed a problem Gary Gary reported on 040215 with
460608 - the function performed by 04405 that conforms descriptions of subject
460609 - accounts in Control Fields to the descriptions for corresponding
460610 - accounts in the Subject Index. ref SDS 40 FX66 This problem has been
460611 - known, but was given a lower priority than fixing other problems that
460612 - had a bigger impact on productivity. Today, in the normal progression
460613 - of priority, this aspect of alignment is reviewed, and that led to
460614 - discovering several new features, ref SDS 0 Z88N, that increase
460615 - productivity by expanding span of attention to reduce mistakes and
460616 - reveal opportunities.
460618 - ..
460619 - Another example of the problem Gary reported on 040215 is the record
460620 - on 040301 that has a subject in the Control Field, which the 04405
460621 - process is failing to find, ref SDS 44 0001, even though the code in
460622 - 03501 that opens the Subject Index works correctly, by finding the
460623 - account that 04405 fails to find. These two systems should be
460624 - identical, because they are doing the same thing, so the failure
460625 - occurring indicates there is a divergence. Normally, would have
460626 - created a subroutine to ensure a single procedure, but because we are
460627 - out of compiler space, decided on 031011 to "poor boy" the job, per
460628 - "background, reviewed below, and, as a result, failure reflects the
460629 - fruits of bad design. Could have made a separate macro, but that too
460630 - chews up memory opening another file.
460632 - ..
460633 - Technical problems and limitations of 04405 and prececessor code in
460634 - 035012, per background, ref SDS 0 IQ8L, have caused minimal use of
460635 - this system, making it, up until today, largely cerimonial, which is
460636 - why improvement has not had a large priority. The main limitation has
460637 - been handling multiple views. Control Fields typically have from 5 to
460638 - 20 account lines, but some might have as many as 100. This is very
460639 - useful to empower people with multiple views by assembling the same
460640 - body of information in many different contexts, which reflects the
460641 - model of human thinking and knowledge. Providing the opportunity for
460642 - assembling multiple views, however, must of necessity be summarized at
460643 - the conscous span of awareness in order to be useful, based on
460644 - research on 990303 showing limitated span of attention. ref SDS 6 6120
460646 - ..
460647 - The code has long addressed the dilemma of balancing requirements for
460648 - continual multiple views with limited span of attention by giving
460649 - notice to the User when more than 20 description lines are entered for
460650 - a Control Field. This has been a weak solution, because there is
460651 - rarely enough time to make a reasoned review of the list of subjects
460652 - to eliminate duplicates.

460659 - The limitation of memory to 640K in combination with Medit failures
460660 - due to fragmented memory from multiple passes, reduced incentive to

460663 - ..
460664 - Response to these limitations has been to avoid using the function to
460665 - conform descriptions for Control Field lines to the accounts in the
460666 - Subject Index, in large part to avoid emotional fatigue that impairs
460667 - effectiveness on matters of immediate importance, reviewed recently on
460668 - 040217, ref SDS 41 LN3G, and instead, simply arbitrarily delete lines
460669 - randomly to obtain a list that is useful to people for the conscious
460670 - span of attention. (solving "emotional fatigue" issue is reviewed
460671 - above under Moore's Law. ref SDS 0 HU6F These technical and mental
460672 - dynamics largely reduced the role of "subjects" for Control Fields to
460673 - the point where dominate criteria has been appearance rather than
460674 - contributing to useful knowledge, and this condition has imparted
460675 - belief that the entire process is not productive.
460677 - ..
460678 - Since work arounds have enabled using SDS without investing time to
460679 - figure out solutions to compound application and technical problems,
460680 - the easy solution today, is simply to tell Gary how to skip using
460681 - 04405. Instead, decided to research the issue and give these problems
460682 - some thought and see if there might be something useful that can be
460683 - done that justifies investing time.

460686 - Planning, below, proposes to eliminate 04405 and use the combination
460687 - of 035012 and 03501 to perform this function, ref SDS 0 IR6J, which
460688 - means there will be a single body of code applied to look up accounts

461101 - On 031011 developed code in 04405 for a process, originally performed
461102 - by 03502, that conforms descriptions to the accounts in the Subject
461103 - Index that are entered in a Control Field. The change on 031011 was
461104 - to enable this support for the new system of segmented indexes that
461105 - increase memory. ref SDS 35 HV5O Later on 031121 refined the code in
461106 - 04405 to support Action Item reports. ref SDS 37 EP7J The key part at

461513 - ..
461514 - Testing seems to show that 04405 is attempting to get directly to an
461515 - account in the SI, and the code in 03501 is using the new method of
461516 - stepping through the index one level at a time, checking for and
461517 - opening segmented indexes as necessary. This suggests the code in
461518 - 04405 is not configured for segmented indexes, which does not make
461519 - sense, because if that were true, we would have encountered this
461520 - problem much more frequently. Could be that it is true, and the slow
461521 - pace of discovering the problem reflects limited use of the function.

480513 -
480514 - Running into a snag.
480515 -
480516 - 035012 uses a transfer file. If there are 20 - 50 subjects in a
480517 - Control Field, this might crash the code developed on 030920 in
480518 - 035012, ref OF 2 257L, that constructs a unique filename.
480519 - ref SDS 34 LK4K
480521 - ..
480522 - One solution is to load all of the subjects into a single transfer
480523 - file, and process them all in one pass into a secondary memory
480524 - session, then bring back all of the descriptions and enter them all
480525 - at once with the get command. This is a simpler and therefore more
480526 - robust design that is less likely to cause memory problems, and it
480527 - should save a lot of steps. Fewer steps reduces processor time,

480565 - Field that no longer exists in the Subject Index. Often what
480566 - happens is that accounts are parsed into components of lower

480568 - subject is assigned to a record. Subsequent work on the record

480578 - when time is available to maintain the vitality of the record.
480580 - ..
480581 - The initial plan was to apply diagnostics only to the errors
480582 - discovered by the system, per para 2. ref SDS 0 C68P This
480583 - method was implemented by counting the lines deleted when the
480584 - stack was reduced as each control field line was processed by
480585 - 03501. Writing this explanation while performing the work led
480586 - to consideration that a simpler and yet more useful design
480587 - would be to use the actual Control Field line numbers rather
480588 - than use a common numerical sequence. This would speed up the
480589 - mental correlation between the problem and the source, making
480590 - investigation and resolution faster and easier. While writing
480591 - up to explain the new idea, another idea evolved, because the
480592 - writing of the 2nd idea was not very smooth, but rather was
480593 - awkward and difficult to craft a coherent explanation of the
480594 - work. Could not understand why, since the way the code
480595 - progressed, the actual line numbers were available, these
480596 - numbers should be removed and later replaced, and further, if
480597 - this is useful for investigating errors, it might not also
480598 - improve understanding of subjects and codes. The result was to
480599 - eliminate 75% of the code making a much more direct and useful

590509 - Considered changing this to enter only a maximum of 10

590512 - automatically update subject descriptions for all Control
590513 - Fields. Without limiting the number of subject descriptions to
590514 - only 10 lines, automatic processing would likely cause save to
