1012 - Summary/Objective
1013 -
101301 - Followed work at ref SDS 3 line 45.
101302 -
101303 - Jeff called per ref DIP 2, to discuss his position at ref DRP 1.  He
101304 - has some good points and will send me written comments for
101305 - considertion of revisions.
101306 -
101307 - Sent confirming memo, ref DIT 1, to PMI.

1016 - Discussion
1017 -
101701 - Jeff would like some examples, including computer screens, to show how
101702 - POIMS concepts are applied in real situations.  He cited page 2, para
101703 - 2 beginning "...POIMS however, permits individuals to support each
101704 - other without actually making an effort to do so," ref OF 1 line 219.
101705 -
101706 - Jeff also pointed to page 5 "POIMS releases the genius within each of
101707 - us," ref OF 1 line 411, as a proposition he would like to see
101708 - expanded.

101710 -   Comment
101711 -
101712 -   Actually, as I read the narrative surrounding this sentence, it
101713 -   seems to me that the explanation is already there in part.  We can
101714 -   compare this experience with dialog where someone asks a question,
101715 -   or poses a problem, then in explaining the problem, discovers the
101716 -   solution with little or no input from the listener.  The solution
101717 -   arises from the struggle to express complete sentences, in contrast
101718 -   to mere impressions in our head.
101719 -
101720 -   POIMS is saying it is not necessary to take up someone else's time,
101721 -   but rather by writing out the issues and questions, the solutions
101722 -   will come, aided as well by assembling comments of others from a
101723 -   data base which permit quickly formulating new views that have a
101724 -   liklihood of being correct.  This it seems to me is the essence of
101725 -   genius.
101726 -
101727 -   Strong intellects can do this sort of thing in their heads better
101728 -   than weak intellects.
101729 -
101730 -
101731 -
101732 - I explained this article, ref OF 1, is an extract from a book I am
101733 - writing.  My effort was to introduce POIMS concepts succinctly for
101734 - consideration and debate.  Jeff suggested I take 20 pages or so to
101735 - flesh out the concepts, and resubmit so readers can more readily
101736 - relate to the ideas.
101737 -
101738 - Jeff will develop further detailed comments on the initial draft and
101739 - submit to me for information and direction on addressing his concerns.
