it is possible, through a
communications system, to organize files so that they are action files, so that they are the
memory of a
mind which thinks. A
file should have three sections:
(1) the
action file, which
holds a
datum that calls for
action at a certain
time, and injects it back into the system at the proper
moment,
(2)
working files, which
hold the
information that is valuable to the
operation,
(3)
dead files, which could be
junked without any
loss of
value to the
operation.
