What is Knowledge?

Knowledge and Passion, forever lovers.

Picture by John Rose of Vanilla Orchid flower buds. The sap is toxic.
Same flower node. Flowering and hand pollinating. Pods growing. Picture by John Rose.

Knowledge is created by humans in research and every-day living, Knowledge cannot be considered as being set in stone, Its character morphs according to supporting evidence objective analysis and evolving human values.

My poem explores dimensions of knowledge.

Tacit Dimension.

Tacit knowledge describes idea of know-how as ability to do something without necessarily being able to articulate it, Includes wisdom experience insight and intuition, Knowledge for riding bicycle or playing piano is certainly Tacit, Michael Polanyi best described Tacit knowledge as “we can know more than we can tell”.

Only way to share tacit knowledge is demonstrating it, Doing it is only way to master it, Sharing tacit knowledge requires trust between teacher and student master and apprentice, Learnt vanilla pollination by watching and re-watching video on youtube.com.

Acquiring and extending tacit knowledge can be done without resorting to language, Just patience in carefully observing and faithfully practicing, Have been on life long learning journey.

Vanilla vine teaching me through my careful observation of developing flower nodes, Blooms require pollination within four hours of coming out, Lucky I have banks of timed LED grow lamps that enable tracking pollination times, Successful pollination pods grow quickly then ten months until harvest, Pollination fails then flowers drop overnight.

Pollinating vanilla requires practice to develop feel for carefully manipulating tool to ensure unfolding flap covering female section and gently pressing pollen home, Don’t forget to buzz.

In great outdoors vanilla bee nearly extinct so commercial vanilla pollinated all by hand, Pollination rates vary according to skill my poor rate is 25%, On other hand very high pollination rate exhausts vine, Love my vine so many things to learn and optimise, Engineer’s delight.

Explicit Dimension.

Explicit knowledge can be explained codified and stored for later access without loosing integrity.

Explicit knowledge is knowledge of facts defined as justified true belief, Justification is key means having belief that should be held based on current objective evidence available or procurable, Evidence must be objective and testable.

Teach research methods to engineering students, How to search for recently published research papers in peer reviewed respected academic journals, How to check author’s credentials and institution, How to check paper’s research methods and make informed opinion to accept as explicit knowledge for input to their research project.

Tacit and Explicit Knowledge Spectrum.

Tacit and explicit knowledge opposite ends of knowledge spectrum, Research may provide testable evidence sufficient to justify turning tacit ideas and hunches into explicit knowledge through critical thinking and careful documenting.

All knowledge has mix of tacit and explicit, When documenting explicit knowledge author inevitably makes assumption of reader’s level of education and ability to implicitly understand their writing, Effective knowledge transfer requires author and reader possess same tacit knowledge, Engineers understand engineers, Pastry cooks comprehend other pastry cooks.

Time ages explicit knowledge, Rapid technical advances makes current useful knowledge obsolete, Consider fate of steam locomotives and looming death of petrol driven cars, Knowledge no longer used soon becomes forgotten, Explicit moves to tacit and exists only in memories of old retired practitioners.

New Knowledge?

“New” complex adjective, Context and time sensitive, Particular knowledge could be common overseas but “New” in sense of never known to my family, Accepted overseas process regarded as new when first introduced into local organisation, Think about AI applications, Finding new uses every day especially in tracking our internet activity and displaying advertisements, Reminds me of song “Everything old is new again!”

Knowledge and Passion.

Knowledge, the remembrance of beauty. Picture by John Rose.

Gardening started with herbs and raising seedlings, Never enough light in converted bedroom, Veranda summer fierceness, Discovered LED grow lights new knowledge in my head.

Started vanilla vine most exotic plant in my impulsive mind, Bought and paid for wondered what I’d done this time, Vanilla growing, Second season flowers thriving, Herbs and kale in abundant harvests.

Loved waking every morning and exploring latest growth, Wonderful daily start, Over years passion grew and grew for garden and learning, New ways growing and experimenting with many varieties, Son enthusiastically providing seeds to sow and raise, Most for his garden some in pots wedged in happy corners of my overcrowded garden.

So much beauty in my little garden, Content with learning, Happy that my knowledge enabled beauty and peace in my little apartment, Fondly remember how snapdragons grew and my experiments with soil and fertiliser tempered by careful watering, Knowledge with memories of beauty walk with me.

Blessed be.
