1006 - Summary/Objective
1007 -
100701 - Follow up ref SDS 5 5345, ref SDS 4 4860.
100702 -
100703 - Max provides a lot of help that requires careful study.  A couple of
100704 - points he raises are critical to the purpose and impact of the project
100705 - and so he may be willing to clarify his perspective about the
100706 - structure of communication, ref SDS 0 1185, and the structure of human
100707 - thought, ref SDS 0 3646

1011 -   ..
101101 - Received ref DRT 1 1512 from Max Wideman commenting on the NWO
101102 - paper, per my letter, ref DIP 1 1061, submitted on 980223 at ref SDS
101103 - 5 1505.
101104 -
101105 - This accomplishes my first step to get peer review per record on
101106 - 980211. ref SDS 3 2135
101107 -
101108 - Max does not comment on how well the Web browser idea worked for
101109 - enabling the reader to maintain a line of thought at different
101110 - locations in the text.
101111 -
101112 - He provides some help on improving organization and reducing
101113 - duplication in the material. ref DRT 1 1947

101117 - Communication Structure Explains Limited Span of Attention Problem
101118 -
101119 - Max suggests that I introduce the structure of communication comprised
101120 - of leadership, understanding and follow up, ref OF 1 2386, much
101121 - earlier. ref DRP 1 1644
101122 -
101123 -     I tried to do this when I revised section 2 on 980114, ref SDS 2
101124 -     1930, to define components of communication. ref OF 1 3279 as a
101125 -     way of explaining limited span of attention so that people can
101126 -     grasp the problem that is solved by Communication Metrics, which
101127 -     is to provide the "intelligence" (i.e., connections between cause
101128 -     and effect) that makes information useful.
101129 -
101130 -     In a way, it seems that Max's question illustrates the challenge
101131 -     of limited span of attention.  SDS solves this with automatic and
101132 -     custom links to expand our most precious and limited resource...
101133 -
101134 -                          human consciousness
101135 -
101136 -         ...which is referred to as the "soul" in the NWO... piece. see
101137 -         ref OF 1 5650
101138 -     ..
101139 -     Discussion about the difference between short and long-term
101140 -     communication introduces the reader to the counterintuitve idea
101141 -     that communication has a structure beyond the here-and-now of
101142 -     daily dialog and documents which provide information and encourage
101143 -     action. ref OF 1 2732
101144 -
101145 -     Decided to create a link back to the explanation in section 2,
101146 -     from the location in section 11 which Max cites as needing to be
101147 -     introduced earlier.  This may help the reader align ideas about
101148 -     "communication components" with the earlier discussion on limited
101149 -     span of attention.

101153 - Power of the Microcosm: Controlling Lower Levels of Organic Structure
101154 -
101155 - Max asks about the purpose of the structure of human thinking in his
101156 - letter, ref DRT 1 3084 which is at ref OF 1 5846.
101157 -
101158 -     I want to show that commonly used words about human acuity are
101159 -     related in ways that people don't realize, and normally don't need
101160 -     to realize.  But, the correlation of these common words actually
101161 -     reflect the power of human thought, and lead to the prospect of
101162 -     technology for leveraging the human mental process by gaining
101163 -     control over lower levels of organic structure.
101164 -
101165 -     This introduces another possibly more useful application of the
101166 -     power of the microcosm, from George Gilder's book, discussed with
101167 -     Dave Vannier at Intel, ref SDS 1 5412,
101168 -
101169 -     It just seems that the structure of the human thinking process has
101170 -     to be central to any discussion of "communcation" if we are going
101171 -     to solve the time, information problem that lies at the heart of
101172 -     Communication Metrics, or any useful effort to produce business
101173 -     intelligence.
