Hi Reilly (got your email),

After I put the first draft of 1mkm out, I thought that something was missing, some part of the explanation. So I changed it a bit, and the new new edition will be up today or tomorrow. The point it makes is this:

That ultimately, while knowledge as a commodity has value and use (ie instuction manuals, newspapers, advice etc etc), how we manage it is really how we think as individuals. And behind all thought processes lie the conscious and subconscious minds, both of which are engaged in problem solving, and you name it. They do work together, this much we know from our own experience. How exactly is maybe a question we can't answer, but we can offer, much like the field of quantum physics, approximations.

In this case tacit is the subconscious mind and explicit is the conscious mind. Now, as I said, we're always engaged in some kind of thought process, but what 1MKM is doing is reconstructing the mind's dynamic into a formal methodology.

Hence, divide the issue into its tacit (subconscious) and explicit (conscious) components, then concentrate on them simultaneously. It's really an exercise for the mind, providing a means for knowledge management that we would otherwise leave to our hope for an insight, etc.
