Taxonomy is the listing of knowledge. Whereas Epistemology is the study of knowledge theories, Taxonomy is the practical representation of theories using visual cues to distinguish the categories of knowledge.

Realms are the largest conceptual systems. Realms do not exist as specific, independent entities.
General Categories are the independent entities that comprise the specific Realms. The general categories are relationships of the realm
Collation is the seven-element list of the simplest concepts. The simplest concepts do not exist. The collation is used to organize the system of realms and general categories.
