The Basic Tension (was: Re: SUO: Re: Consensus?)
Adam and others,
The basic tension is:
on the one hand, the tendency to go ones own way.

on the other hand, the desire to collaborate.

collaborate:
to work jointly with others or together especially in an intellectual
endeavor
cooperate:
to act or work with another or others; to act together; to associate with
another or others for mutual benefit
consensus:
general agreement; the judgment arrived at by most of those concerned; group
solidarity in sentiment and belief
I do not want to preach, but in the spirit of cooperation we need to keep in
check the tendency to go ones own way and instead we need to foster the
spirit of cooperation.
From the SUMO WG the Joint Library WG might be most interested in the 11
basic modules, their (history, ancestry, parentage, etc.), their
development, the annotated process of their merging into the SUMO, etc.
From the CpenCyc WG the Joint Library WG might be most interested in the
microtheories, their (history, ancestry, parentage, etc.), their
development, the structure for connecting microtheories, etc.
From the IFF WG the Joint Library WG might be most interested in the truth
axiomatization for the "lattice of theories", the theory axiomatization for
ontological mappings, and the semantic integration axiomatization.
