What Is Knowledge?

• Knowledge is a prerequisite for evolution
• Evolution requires knowledge acquisition, deduction, management, and sharing
• Evolving universes and cosmos learn from their inception, and through all their life cycles
• Knowledge is all that has been known, all that is known, and, by extension, all that will ever be known
• Reality is only the knowledge that is available about it
• Minds and computers can only store, process, and share knowledge

What Are The Four Basic Knowledge Operations (AMPS)?

• Acquisition: discovery, deduction, inference, through senses, sensors, searches, and learning
• Memorization: long and short term storage and memorization
• Processing: computation, calculation, strategy, planning, organization, optimization, integration, query, transformation
• Sharing: through communication, transfer, exchange, publishing, encoding
• Note: acquisition, memorization, and processing are useless without sharing, and sharing defines knowledge value

What Is The Market Value Of Knowledge?

• Free, public, given knowledge has no market value, by definition
• Information that is not shared is meaningless, unavailable, and valueless, until it is shared
• Knowledge has no measurable value until it is shared, and then, entitlement defines the value of knowledge

What Are The Possible Direct Impacts Of Knowledge On Economy?

• An effective economy cannot be built on something that has no market value, and a knowledge economy can only be built on the market value of knowledge
• Collaboration, the highest productivity factor, as well as business processes and operations, are based on Knowledge Sharing, henced, they are hindered by the unavailable knowledge
