Fusion Tasks

Erratic results and cascading errors can be often attributed to management practices based on flawed information. Using fusion, existing task information can be deconstructed into an infosphere for understanding and evaluation.

All tasks can be characterized by conditions, key activities, and measures of success. The differences between what was intended to happen and what actually occurred in these categories can be cast into facts (WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN) and then information (HOW). Because the deconstruction is post-activity, all information is apparent and so fusion occurs at a single ex-post time (vertical fusion).

The fusion process rests upon the group knowledge building structure of language. Language is a feedback mechanism for developing joint understanding of a topic. Normalized vocabulary from parts of speech become keywords for search and hence further fusion.

Fusion is completed when information is transformed into a distilled knowledge (WHY) infosphere explaining the differences between intended and actual practices. Strong causality might pinpoint inaccuracies in task information; if the task itself is information processing than error causality would suggest that the use of certain information be postponed until more is learned.
