The following paper has been published as UDT Core Programme
Occasional Paper #6:

  KNOWLEDGE ORGANIZATION FOR THE BETTERMENT OF MANKIND.
  Vigdor Schreibman
  Federal Information News Syndicate

  Abstract:

  This paper addresses the rise of chaos in the records of knowledge 
  since the beginning of the modern era, which the author concludes 
  cannot be solved by technology, simply because these problems are 
  spiritual in nature. A purposive model is proposed addressing the 
  self-imposed incongruities in the theories of action, which guide 
  human thought.
