Reference: Data Series 5—INFORMATION COLLECTION

.

INFORMATION COLLECTION

Obtaining information is necessary for any analysis of data. If one obtains and analyzes some information he can get a hint of what information he should obtain in what area. By obtaining more data on that area, he can have enough to actively handle.

The QUANTITY of data poured in is not any guarantee of understanding. News media and intelligence actions are not themselves bad. But irrational news media and illogical intelligence activity are psychotic. So information collection can become a vice. It can be overdone.

NORMAL ADMIN FLOWS CONTAIN ENOUGH DATA TO DO A DATA AND SITUATION ANALYSIS.

THE LESS DATA YOU HAVE THE MORE PRECISE YOUR ANALYSIS MUST BE.

INDICATORS MUST BE WATCHED FOR IN ORDER TO UNDERTAKE A SITUATION ANALYSIS.

A SITUATION ANALYSIS ONLY INDICATES THE AREA THAT HAS TO BE CLOSELY INSPECTED AND HANDLED.

The correct sequence is: 

  1. Have a normal information flow available.
  2. Observe.
  3. When a bad indicator is seen, become very alert.
  4. Do a data analysis.
  5. Do a situation analysis.
  6. Obtain more data by direct inspection of the area indicated by the situation analysis.
  7. Handle.

An incorrect sequence, bound to get one in deep trouble, is: 

A.    See an indicator.
B.    Act to handle.

.

ADMIN CYCLE

Steps 1 to 7 should be taken when the first signs show up. Sometimes it has to be done over and over.

Sometimes the “handle” requires steps which the area is too broken down to get into effect and so becomes “Handle as possible and remember to do the whole cycle again soon.”

Sometimes “handle” is a program of months or years duration, its only liability that it will be forgotten or thrown out before done by some “new broom.”

.

RELIABLE SOURCE

If three people tell you the same thing, it is not necessarily a fact as they might all have heard the same lie. Three liars don’t make one fact—they make three outpoints.

You are looking for outpoints. When they are analyzed and the situation is analyzed by them, you then find yourself looking at the truth if you follow the cycle (1) to (7).

If you know thoroughly what the 5 primary outpoints are, they leap into view from any body of data.

It is odd but all the “facts” you protest in life and ridicule or growl about are all one or another of the outpoints. When you spot them for what they are, then you can actually estimate things. And the pluspoints come into view.

.

DEFINITIONS

INDICATOR—A visible manifestation which tells one a situation analysis should be done.

BAD INDICATOR—It is merely an outpoint taken from the 5 primary outpoints. It is not “bad news” or a rumor.

DATA—Anything of which one could become aware, whether the thing existed or whether he created it.

Reference: Data Series 4—DATA AND SITUATION ANALYZING

.

DATA AND SITUATION ANALYZING

The two general steps one has to take to “find out what is really going on” are: 

  1. Analyze the data, 
  2. Using the data thus analyzed to analyze the situation.

The way to analyze data is to compare it to the 5 primary points and see if any of those appear in the data.

The way to analyze the situation is to put in its smaller areas each of the data analyzed as above. Doing this gives you the locations of greatest error or disorganization and also gives you areas of greatest effectiveness.

WE OBTAIN AN ANALYSIS OF THE SITUATION BY ANALYZING ALL THE DATA WE HAVE AND ASSIGNING THE OUTPOINT DATA TO THE AREAS OR PARTS. THE AREA HAVING THE MOST OUTPOINTS IS THE TARGET FOR CORRECTION.

.

EXPERIENCE

The quality of the data analysis depends on one knowing the ideal organization and purpose on which the activity is based. This means one has to know what its activities are supposed to be from a rational or logical viewpoint.

From the body of actual current data on the organization one spots the outpoints for a DATA ANALYSIS.

One assigns the outpoints to the whole as a SITUATION ANALYSIS.

One uses his admin know-how and expertise to repair the most aberrated subsection.

One gets a functioning organization that runs closer to the ideal.

.

DEFINITIONS

SITUATION—The broad general scene on which a body of current data exists. 

DATA—Facts, graphs, statements, decisions, actions, descriptions, which are supposedly true. 

OUTPOINT— Any one datum that is offered as true that is in fact found to be illogical when compared to the 5 primary points of illogic. 

PLUSPOINT—A datum of truth when found to be true compared to the 5 points.

Reference: Data Series 3—BREAKTHROUGHS

.

BREAKTHROUGHS

Breakthrough 1: FINDING A DATUM OF COMPARABLE MAGNITUDE TO THE SUBJECT.

A single datum or subject has to have a datum or subject with which to compare it before it can be fully understood. By studying and isolating the principles that make a situation illogical, one can then see what is necessary to be logical.

Breakthrough 2: NO RULES OF LOGIC CAN BE VALID UNLESS ONE ALSO INCLUDES THE DATA BEING USED.

Logic concerns obtaining answers. And answers depend on data. Unless you can test and establish the truth and value of the data being used, one cannot attain right answers.

If A equals B and B equals C, then C equals A. The facts are that the ancient theorem is totally dependent on the DATA used in it. Only if the DATA is correct does the theorem work. Lacking emphasis on the data being used, this theorem can be proven true or false at will.

.

DATA ANALYSIS

Unless you can prove or disprove the data you use in any logic system, the system itself will be faulty. 

VALID ANSWERS MAY ONLY BE ATTAINED IN USING VALID DATA.

Ships run on oil, electric motors on electricity and logic runs on data. If the data being stuffed into a computer is incorrect, no matter how well a computer is planned or built or proofed up against faults you can get totally wrong answers.

Thus, if the subject of Data Analysis is neglected or imperfect or unknown or unsuspected as a step, then wild answers to situations and howling catastrophes can occur.

.

THE MIND AS A COMPUTER

The mind is a remarkable computer; but the fallacy of the mind is that it can operate on wrong data. If a person can straighten out his data he can be logical and will be logical and can attain right answers to situations.

Thus, we will not be stressing HOW to think but how to analyze that with which one thinks—which is DATA.

Reference: Data Series 2—LOGIC

UNLOCKING LOGIC

LOGIC means the subject of reasoning. One needs the ability to observe and think. But logic has not been a supported subject, and man is mostly unable to think. 

The function of logic is to reach right conclusions and take correct actions. Geometry, or mathematics, are utterly inadequate to address the complexity of human problems. Computers can’t think because the rules of live logic aren’t fully known to man and computer builders. One false datum fed into a computer gives one a completely wrong answer. Computers, at best, are only crutches to the mind.

The following principle provides a breakthrough in the subject of logic.

BY ESTABLISHING THE WAYS IN WHICH THINGS BECOME ILLOGICAL, ONE CAN THEN ESTABLISH WHAT IS LOGIC.

.

ILLOGIC

There are 5 primary ways for a relay of information or a situation to become illogical. 

  1. Omit a fact.
  2. Change sequence of events.
  3. Drop out time.
  4. Add a falsehood.
  5. Alter importance.

There are hundreds of ways these 5 mishandling of data can then give one a completely false picture.

REASON DEPENDS ON DATA. 

WHEN DATA IS FAULTY (as above) THE ANSWER WILL BE WRONG AND LOOKED UPON AS UNREASONABLE.

.

USING LOGIC

To achieve a logical answer one must have logical data. Therefore, logic must have several conditions:

  1. All relevant facts must be known.
  2. Events must be in actual sequence.
  3. Time must be properly noted.
  4. The data must be factual, which is to say true or valid.
  5. Relative importances amongst the data must be recognized by comparing the facts with what one is seeking to accomplish or solve.

It is a wise man who, confronted with conflicting data, realizes that he knows at least one thing—that he doesn’t know. 

Grasping that, he can then take action to find out.

Reference: Data Series 1R—THE ANATOMY OF THOUGHT

THE ANATOMY OF THOUGHT

SANITY IS THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE DIFFERENCES, SIMILAR ITIES AND IDENTITIES. This is also intelligence. 

DIFFERENT = Two or more facts or things that are totally unlike. They are not the same fact or same object. 

SIMILAR = Two or more facts or things that have something in common with one another. 

IDENTICAL = Two or more facts or things that have all their characteristics in common with one another.

.

SEMANTICS

Just because two identical objects exist in different locations, does not mean that they are different. In human communication, words mean the things they denote. In that sense the words and their meanings are the same. Of course, a word brings about a mental picture of what it means, and it depends on the context.

Therefore, a word should mean the same thing to everybody who uses it in the same context. But the subject of General Semantics makes the idea of communicating quite difficult, and it injures a person’s ability to communicate logically. 

In school, one is told, “You must study geometry because that is the way you think.” The subject of Geometry contains proofs of certain relationships in space. But you are not told about the assumptions that underlie those proofs. Without those assumption those proofs are not valid.

Not knowing this, a student gets a very straitjacketed idea of thinking. He does not get a complete picture of how the mind thinks. This kind of limited logic then leads to irrational conclusions in life. This leads to trouble in the society.

Hubbard’s gives examples of how people have been taught carefully to reach irrational conclusions.

.

PROPER DEFINITIONS

Thoughts are infinitely divisible into classes of thought. 

BASIC LAW = something to which one aligns other junior facts and actions.

FACT = something that can be proven to exist by visible evidence.

OPINION = something which may or may not be based on any facts.

A sloppy mind sees no difference between a FACT and somebody’s opinion. The basic law is so far senior to the fact that one could throw the fact away and be no poorer. When basics are conceived to be merely similar to incidental remarks, the person cannot understand a situation, or USE a subject he studies.

Individuals to whom differences are identities and identities are differences can muddle up an operation to a point where disaster is inevitable.

The need for all discipline can be traced back to the inability to think.
