SLC: Nomenclature

The Secular Library Classification system suggests that, although explicit knowledge is complex, there seems to be a semantic pattern that can be exercised to present a comprehensible system, unlike standard library classification systems, which seem to be incomprehensible, dead-end linear taxonomies. 

In my research and development of personal skills with categorization, I have been able to better notice and identify semantic problems. Surprisingly, it seems to me that the discipline of taxonomy lacks a standard system of nomenclature.


General Taxonomy Nomenclature Correction

In philosophy class, Ontology tends to be an unwitting exploration of classification theories under the auspices of the study of existence. In practical terms, Ontology is the entirety of recorded knowledge. Scholars will be surprised and probably challenge my claim, and Technology will probably be their majority opinion.

Taxonomy is the listing of knowledge.

A category is the unit of a taxonomy. 

Collation is the order of categories.

Attributes are the basic (metadata) categories used for identifying the positions in a collation.

Class is the level of categories.

Classification is the set of rules for distinguishing classes.

Correlations are the coordinate system derived from the ordinate comparison of the collation.

Cognitive Categorization is the cognitive exercise of the mind's correlation function using rules derived from experience.

Categorization is the assignment of objects to categories.


Colation is a filtering function of the SLC general categories


SLC class system

The Secular Library Classification system is divided into seven partitions. The first partition, zero, and designated "Reality," introduces the rules for navigating the remaining realms of reality. 

Realms of reality are the largest conceptual systems correlated to the list of basic concepts formulating the primary collation. 

##0: conceptualizations
##1: systemations
##2: utilizations
##3: individuations
##4: organizations
##5: doctrinations
##6: transformations

0##: Reality 
1##: Nature
2##: Technology
3##: Life
4##: Society
5##: Culture 
6##: Time

#00: Process
#10: System
#20: Standard
#30: Agency
#40: Activity
#50: Domain
#60: Chronologies


General Categories are first level of collated categories.

Categories are the second level of collated categories

Each category has a unique code of attributes for identifying its position in the taxonomy.

About Me

My photo
In January of 2001, I encountered a random disagreement and wondered why there is so much misunderstanding in contrast to the abundance of advanced technology we have? I pledged to determine the root of the problem and render a solution. In December of 2002, I encountered overwhelming opposition when contesting the quality of the definitions of several significant words often used by atheists in their arguments for distinguishing atheism from religion. Upon commencement of research in January of 2007, I recognized that the inadequacies of the library classification systems was the root of the problem leading to the general misunderstandings in society, and that the solution is a reliable knowledge classification system. What I thought would take merely a couple of weeks turned into sixteen years of enlightening research, thousands of semantic calculations, and thousands of hours dedicated to composing a critique of the three-branch government separation model and the forthcoming treatise on social constructionism.
