Jack,
Thanks for pointing out the mistake in my letter earlier today. Feedback
refines accuracy, as noted by Mary Keeler in remarks at SRI on 000518, citing
Peirce's work on semiotics. On 011029 another letter discusses converting
information into knowledge....

...as you suggest in your letter today, and reflects SDS architecture explained
in POIMS.....

I agree that solving the quagmire caused by IT entails investing time to
understand the "story" of daily life as "history" under a theory of concurrent
discovery. This enables continual learning by shortening the period for
grasping lessons of history from 5 minutes ago, 5 days ago and 5 years ago that,
when aligned, reveal clues about the future. see POIMS.....

This form of story telling, called "intelligence" allows people to learn where
the story is headed without having to passively stand by and wait for events to
unfold. It turns out that, since communication is a predicate to action,
connecting the dots from conversation, and other forms like correspondence,
newscasts, papers, etc., into a comprehensible story provides a lot of useful
intelligence that saves time and money.
This latter has been the sticking point. People resist investing time to
understand the story, because it seems faster and easier in the moment to rely
on impressions from information, as noted in your letter on 010908. Overcoming
that error through education and a culture of knowledge was the thrust of my
earlier letter commending Henry for his hard work in this area.
