3405 -
340501 - Follow up ref SDS 8 0000, ref SDS 7 0000.
340502 -
340503 - Reporting reviewed on 060408 showed growing requirement for work to
340504 - connect cause and effect in daily communications. ref SDS 0 P469
340505 - Outlining is an important component of connecting cause and effect by
340506 - adding structure to information, which helps reveal sequence.
340507 - ref SDS 0 P45J  Professor James Schombert's lectures on 21st century
340508 - science presented at the University of Oregon explained the concept of
340509 - locality.  This concept seems to support SDS design for adding
340510 - connections that convert information into knowledge. ref SDS 0 AI85
340511 - Submitted a letter asking for comment on applying Schombert's lecture
340512 - on locality to develop requirements for adding intelligence to
340513 - information that creates the power of knowledge. ref SDS 0 6P8I

3408 - Progress
3409 -
340901 - Analysis on 060412 reviewed a letter from Gary Johnson submitting an
340902 - explanation of outline software. ref SDS 8 6O6O  Outlining applies
340903 - alphabet technology to create structure that imparts order and
340904 - pattern.  Support for structure that aids working intelligently
340905 - contrasts with wordprocessing, email, Powerpoint, and other popular
340906 - information technologies designed to create documents with attractive
340907 - appearance. ref SDS 8 3H5G  SDS extension of literacy by adding
340908 - chronology, context, and connection, explained in POIMS, ref OF 6
340909 - 8555, for critical thinking, significantly supplements IT support for
340910 - wordprocessing to make writing attractive is described as the two (2)
340911 - worlds problem.
340913 -  ..
340914 - Earlier on 060408 review of Gary's record on 060222 found requirement
340915 - for intelligence support role that converts information into
340916 - knowledge, because information density seems to be driving people
340917 - toward giving up on good management by ignoring critical details.
340918 - ref SDS 7 6O6O  This fits the recipe for entropy that causes
340919 - productivity and earnings to fall. ref SDS 7 424O
340921 -  ..
340922 - On 040312 review of lectures by Professor James Schombert at the
340923 - University of Oregon explained the philosophy of science.  Order,
340924 - structure, pattern are critical elements of rational analysis to
340925 - accurately understand cause and effect for working intelligently.
340926 - ref SDS 3 RP6K
340928 -  ..
340929 - The first lecture on 040329 seems to indicate that the locality
340930 - principle requires adding energy to connect cause and effect,
340931 - ref SDS 3 YH4G, and without this effort, the 2nd law of thermodynamics
340932 - drives understanding toward entropy. ref SDS 3 566F  Measurement of
340933 - entropy might be a useful communication metric, as a corollary to
340934 - accuracy, discussed on 040312, ref SDS 3 IT3H, and citing prior
340935 - analysis on 950204. ref SDS 1 8A9F
340937 -  ..
340938 - Research on the Internet found further support for applying the
340939 - locality principle to communications and the process of converting
340940 - information into useful knowledge.
340942 -  ..
340943 - Russel E. Rierson engages discussion on "multiverse" concepts, and
340944 - comments in part...
340945 -
340946 -            It appears that the best solution is that our universe is
340947 -            self contained. The locality principle is not violated.

340950 -               [On 060617 Agung Budiyono paper dated 060602 "The
340951 -               Dynamical Foundation of Thermodynamical Behavior..."
340952 -               extends Schombert's comment that quantum mechanics
340953 -               reduce to classical mechanics at the macro level, by
340954 -               offering mathematical proof that locality, uncertainty,
340955 -               the 2nd law, and gravity all derive from the
340956 -               irreversibility of time. ref SDS 9 K161

340968 -        thermodynamics, both of which are outside my field of
340969 -        management tools and practices. ref DIT 1 0001
340971 -         ..
340972 -    2.  None-the-less, consultants and "experts" propose that
340973 -        management practices of timely, accurate records, traceability
340974 -        to original sources, analysis of details to understand
340975 -        causation are now passe. ref DIT 1 7A6O  There seem to be no
340976 -        requirements for good management because "Newtonian, linear,
340977 -        reductionist thinking" is out of fashion in the executive suit,
340978 -        as seen at Enron, reported on 020204. ref SDS 2 6V8I
340980 -         ..
340981 -    3.  This all came up in June 2004. ref SDS 5 RF6O  At the time I
340982 -        was working with a cancer situation [shown on 050812,
340983 -        ref SDS 6 ST4G], and so could not look into it.  More recently,
340984 -        things have improved, so there is time for review. ref DIT 1
340985 -        IC8G
340987 -         ..
340988 -    4.  Investigation on 040312 yielded a series of lectures,
340989 -        ref DIT 1 OO9G, by Professor James Schombert at the University
340990 -        of Oregon. ref SDS 3 0001  He presents the "locality principle"
340991 -        in a general review of classical Newtonian physics, ref SDS 3
340992 -        YH4G, and as background for introducing 21st-century science,
340993 -        e.g., quantum mechanics, ref SDS 4 ZG8F, complexity, and chaos
340994 -        theory. ref SDS 3 1F5M
340996 -         ..
340997 -    5.  Schombert further notes that quantum mechanical principles
340998 -        reduce to Newtonian principles at the macro level of daily
340999 -        life. ref SDS 4 MN3N  However, terminology from sub-atomic
341000 -        physics, e.g., holism, ref SDS 4 6B8M, seems to be misapplied
341001 -        in the management arena, ref DIT 1 3M4O, urging folks not to
341002 -        bother with diligence and accuracy, ref SDS 5 K47Q, since
341003 -        everything is random and relative; and, be creative by
341004 -        embracing chaos, etc., rather than organize the work and follow
341005 -        up with feedback. ref SDS 5 MQ7M
341006 -
341007 -           [On 060617 Agung Budiyono paper dated 060602 "The Dynamical
341008 -           Foundation of Thermodynamical Behavior..." extends
341009 -           Schombert's comment that quantum mechanics reduce to
341010 -           classical mechanics at the macro level, by offering
341011 -           mathematical proof that locality, uncertainty, the 2nd law,
341012 -           and gravity all derive from the irreversibility of time.
341013 -           ref SDS 9 K161
341015 -         ..
341016 -    6.  If you have time to glance through comment on Schombert's
341017 -        lecture on the locality principle, ref DIT 1 CN6O, you'll
341018 -        notice at line 680416 that he shows a correlation between
341019 -        energy information knowledge, causality, and entropy.
341020 -        ref SDS 3 L22S  This is useful for explaining added value of
341021 -        technology that integrates personal and organizational memory
341022 -        in that it seems to support a theory of knowledge that can be
341023 -        implemented by tools, as set out in POIMS. ref OF 3 0561
341025 -         ..
341026 -    7.  My impression is that the locality principle relates to the 2nd
341027 -        law of thermodynamics on the conservation of energy.
341028 -        ref SDS 3 IT3H  Looking for research on this led to your work,
341029 -        per above. ref SDS 0 KY6N  Again if you have time, guidance
341030 -        would be appreciated, including reference to sources and other
341031 -        contacts. ref DIT 1 CO4F
341033 -         ..
341034 -    8.  I'm satisfied that adding "intelligence" to information
341035 -        produces "knowledge" regardless of applying the "locality
341036 -        principle," per se, but this kind of referent helps people
341037 -        grasp import more readily than mere pondering of explanation
341038 -        and citation of examples. ref DIT 1 EW5G
341040 -         ..
341041 -    9.  Thus, your comments are greatly appreciated. ref DIT 1 OW5N
341043 -         ..
341044 -   10.  PS.  By copy I am sending a copy to Professor Schombert, so he
341045 -        can comment as well, if time permits; and, to a few others who
341046 -        have been interested in this issue from time to time.
