Dave – I read your rhizome piece. I found it strange in a few ways, not the ones you might predict.

1. Foundation of knowledge is — you said information. I thought you’d argue it is common assumptions, frameworks, or world view that are necessary to precede the negotiation. (If that is implicit, where does it come from?)

2. As described in the piece I couldn’t see how the rhizome approach distinguishes cult behavior from knowledge creation.

3. Likewise I couldn’t see how it ruled out the possibility of two separate groups each who negotiate in the ways you describe but then who come up with opposite conclusions. Is there knowledge in both? That would be odd.

In other words, where is verification in the story? If you put verification in front and center, does the result differ so much from the older models that you critique?

Be that as it may, the claim of knowledge abundance doesn’t follow from this piece. At least, I didn’t see how it does.

By the way, my name is Lanny, not Larry.

And on the content management, fine if the access is portable regardless of place of residence or employment.
