180535 -      The letter last night explained why "meaning" and "truth" change
180536 -      in the human mind, causing people to "drift off course," because
180537 -      knowledge is fragile.

180543 -         [On 990329 Seven Pinker explains the vastness of human thought
180544 -         reflects the complexity of existence that causes frustration
180545 -         in the conscious span of attention trying to comprehend that
180546 -         all information is related to everything. ref SDS 23 GP2S
180548 -       ..
180549 -      Used analogy of a cupboard filled with glasses.  Putting another
180550 -      glass in the cupboard results in all of the glasses moving
180551 -      slightly to make room for more.  Absorbing information by the
180552 -      mind has a similar effect of moving everyting that is already
180553 -      there slightly and, like the cupboard with glasses, this changes
180554 -      the pattern of information arranged in the mind slightly.
180555 -      "Meaning" is primarily a function of pattern recognition, and so
180556 -      when new information changes the pattern in the mind, we get a
180557 -      different perspective of "truth," although normally we do not
180558 -      recognize it.
180560 -       ..
180561 -      Complexity of mental connections was considered on 900303,
180562 -      reviewing Jeromy Campbell's book "The Improbable Machine."
180563 -      ref SDS 1 6006
180565 -       ..
180566 -      Landauer's paper on LSA explaining how the mind constructs
180567 -      "meaning", reviewed on 960321 supports this understanding.

180574 -      Morris' worried on 980405 everything is related to everything
180575 -      else and so subjects are too difficult for managers to manage.

180578 -  ..
180579 - Besides lack of editing tools and connection to related background,
180580 - mistakes in the email occurred because the Internet was down again
180581 - last night, so I could not grab the web page address with cut and
180582 - paste.  Entering it manually resulted in mistakes.
180584 -  ..
