Mr. Grohn,

If I misunderstand you, please correct me. But I think you have stepped into possibly the most interesting area of knowledge mapping that we will encounter in the paper on dynamic, graphic knowledge.

What happens when one maps all the knowledge one has out to the limits, i.e. one reaches implicit knowledge. For example, this happened when all of basic chemistry and the simple periodic table was developed before atomic structure was known. Some scientists felt that matter had magical properties, others felt that only God knew such things, etc.

For a specific field the Triad could be:

R (all known knowledge) P (knowledge creation) O (zero)

I am getting way ahead of myself, but what the heck. This is, by definition, a dysfunctional Triad, but has great potential ... it asks us to look harder at R P and O, because either we know all that is to be known or we will break through in one of these areas....like Rutherford penetrates atom by radiation analysis ... as I recall. He focused on Process. But in business planning, one might well ask, "what are the processes that are failing us, or are the Resources inadequate or both". In tactical and strategic intelligence, one can deconstruct R and P until the "weak links" are found.

ON THE OTHER HAND, do I really understand your question?

Best
Mike
