I am working with the Latin language and it is helping me to classify my thoughts more effectively by understanding historical correlations in meaning. For example matter was considered a fabric. The term for light, “lume”, comes from the term loom which alludes to textile manufacture. In fact all of the textile terms merge with geometry where they were practically applied.
WEAVE: a fabric
POINT: a intersection
LINE: a line
ANG: a cut
HEIR: an area
VOL: layers
QUAL: a bundle
These terms have influenced our thinking for literally thousands of years. We still talk of the “fabric” of space, the fabric of time and “material” or whatever. We are unintentionally applying a metaphor. Yet it is a metaphor that has served us well.
At this point I present a scale that I have arrived at for human sensory perception.

I posted all of the above, because I believe that classification is underrated. If we spent more time thinking about the aesthetics of our classification language, which is presently total crap, we might make more discoveries.
How much do we conceal from ourselves because we deceive ourselves into thinkng a dogmatic classification system won’t bear fruit.
Have you ever seen this guy?
He beat his brains out letting the data talk to him and came up with this:
When Dmitri Mendeleev created this table to describe periodic behaviour of the elements, many of the elements had not been discovered. However, the table projected what the properties of those elements would be making the search much easier. Dmitri also was very good at making Vodka.
As I have discussed there are Satrice, Fratrice, Patrice, Natrice, Matrice, Sortrice and Datrice networks. Each of them classify in different ways. Understanding these networks and their classification are the road to new discoveries. Networks are classification systems.
I just saw this in the New York Times:
It is called a “Knowledge Map”. It is a plot of the link clicking behaviour of a scientific community. Not what they say is important, but where they are going that they think is important. From this information it may be possible to reorganize knowledge to make it more accessible to everyone.
And that is what we are all here for getting and giving access.
