Natural intelligence can work with
computers using the functional decomposition of an (AIPM) actionable intelligence
process model.

supply technology for instrumentation and measurements as well as encoding and
interpretation. The HIP technologies
are based on special hash tables and mathematical constructions. HIP provides a repository for the measurement
of structural invariance in signal, and for the annotation of this structure by
humans. See { ^ }
Common
belief holds that information production is a process that relies on
humans. In fact most defence
information workers, such as intelligence analysts, understand the failure of artificial
intelligence. This
understanding is consistent with cognitive neuroscience and the social
sciences. Many scholars believe that
the natural sciences should play a more dominate role in IT funding
decisions.
A new class of information production tools produces self-organizing maps of
linguistic variations and clustering of documents using latent indexing. Topic Maps and XML are used, and used a way
that allows a flexible co-production of information involving knowledge workers
and advanced computer processes.
One may observe that information
production tools generate something called machine ontology, and that this work
product reveals real time information about complex events such as terrorism events and
biological events.
A poll of defence intelligence
workers reveals a common agreement that humans produce information – and
computers, sometimes, move information that has been produced.
We find the following opinions.
1)
Information
technology has been perceived as a retrieval of information that has been
placed into a database, or email, or documents.
2)
Intelligence
workers are confused by the mismatch between IT marketing literature and the
performance of IT products when used in real time crisis management.
With this polling result it is
possible to develop new understanding that is consistent with the
cognitive neuroscience and the social systems.
The Knowledge Sharing Foundation (KSF) is the proper means to
establish this understanding.
Why is this?
1) Because the KSF requires that information production tools
be packaged without vendor control into a suite of tools that is accompanied by
liberal education regarding the nature of data, information and human knowledge
sharing.
2) The KSF IPTs’ each have instrumentation within the code that
reports use statistics for purposes of measuring information sharing and production.
A
utility function is established that delivers compensation to suppliers of
information production tools, educational resources and to humans who are
demonstrating value to the system through the sharing of tacit knowledge.
