To open up information to the organization we must look for
another model, one that caters to imagination, intuition and

It seems to me that Java and its derivatives still follow the model
of a computer programmer encasing what s/he perceives my future
needs are in an arcane language that I am unable to alter. This
seems to indicate that my creative process must be predictable.
My hat is off to s/he who is so foresighted.
What I see as needed, and there may now be available enough
computing power and information in the Internet, is the ability
to search out connections between the patterns of process or
thought or content from one frame of reference to another.
I as a researcher would like to be researching a concept in
my discipline and while working on a terminal have an agent
point out that a similar formula or pettern of logic is applicable
in some other discipline.
For instance, there are some concepts in the discipline of City Planning
that are applicable to Information Systems planning. In would be
nice to not have to wait for the the computer systems person with an
interest in city planning to recognize the synergy.
