1712 - Summary/Objective
1713 -
171301 - Follow up ref SDS 9 0000, ref SDS 6 WE5L.
171302 -
171303 - Called Doug this evening and talked for about 45 minutes or so.  He
171304 - sounded well, and seemed pleased about SDS progress.
171306 -  ..
171307 - Doug explained having visited SRI to see Jack Park and Pat Lincoln,
171308 - and was pleased by their continued support, though restrained by
171309 - forces of bureaucracy.  He seemed frustrated by the challenge of
171310 - helping people understand his work, following up our telecon on
171311 - 991222. ref SDS 2 3977  This challenge eminates at least from the
171312 - Vannivar Bush article in July 1945 setting goals for technology to
171313 - support cognition, and reviewed on 960304, ref SDS 1 L47F, also,
171314 - citing Doug's follow on work. ref SDS 1 UX6F  On 040312 Thomas Kuhn
171315 - presents the "paradigm paradox" that resists improvement. ref SDS 7
171316 - HH3M  Others have traveled Doug's arduous path on a sea of ignorance,
171317 - fear, and denial commonly analogized by the story of the "Genie in the
171318 - Bottle," see NWO on Tesla, Mitchell, Atanasoff, Mauchly, et al.
171319 - ref OF 16 3Y4K

171321 -            [On 060129 Doug honored at Stanford University; mentions

171324 -  ..
171325 - Doug requested a letter summarizing the explanation of "intelligence
171326 - support", as set out in the ASB filing reported on 040720. ref SDS 8

171331 - ASB showing how SDS is presented for intelligence support....
171332 -
171333 -    1.  Per our telecon this evening, we got a report that a 4 to 1
171334 -        vote evidently moves us on to the next step for approving SDS
171335 -        as a Boeing standard on "organizational memory" (analogous to
171336 -        your DKR), ref SDS 9 QP5K, which enables intelligence support.

171339 -         ..
171340 -    2.  The one person who objected, ref SDS 9 7K3Y, shows that we
171341 -        probably still have some hurdles to cross. ref DIT 1 SL6G
171342 -
171348 -         ..
171349 -    4.  Here is a link to the scope of "intelligence" support,
171350 -        ref OF 13 A56M, that SDS tries to provide. ref DIT 1 YM6M
171352 -         ..
171353 -    5.  On a first read, I would not click on links. ref DIT 1 1N7J
