Tacit Knowledge
Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

The concept of tacit knowing comes from scientist and philosopher [Michael Polanyi]. It is important to note that he wrote about a process (hence [Tacit Knowing]) and not a form of knowledge. However, his phrase has been taken up to name a form of knowledge that is apparently wholly or partly inexplicable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacit_knowledge

Tacit knowledge consists often of habits and culture that we do not recognize in ourselves

cannot be codified, but can only be transmitted via training or gained through personal experience ()

[Steve Denning] applies it to .

The classic story about Xerox copy-machine repairmen and their annotated manuals covers this area.
