SLC: Subcategories

Subcategories are categories subsequent to the general categories. The subcategories are alpha-numerically coded to the right of the septenary point and are not confined to the septenary or semantic collations.

It is expected that at some point in the hierarchy, categories have unique systems of subcategories, and possibly different systems for the same topic in different general categories.

Love

26-04-19  Back around 2010 or so, I calculated that Reality was the processing general category for the Nature realm, which has since been recalculated to be the container of the subsequent realms. It was an enlightening experience, and soon thereafter, I contemplated that eventually the category of Love would be located. I have never put any effort into the task and have considered it the subject of a quip I could deploy when asked about Love.

Serendipitously, I encountered the term "affection," and I was compelled to research the term, and I found Descartes' Doctrine of Passions is a list of six elements. The article suggests adding several other elements to the list: sadness, anger, and jealousy.

• Admiration (admiration)
• Amour (love)
• Haine (hatred)
• Désir (desire)
• Joie (joy)
• Tristesse (sorrow)
• Sadness
• Anger
• Jealousy

Reordering the list (alphabetical order) does not seem to coordinate with the SLC primary collation, and it does not have to. So, I begin research suggesting that the parent category, Passion, is probably one of the general categories of Experience or Agency. And Experience and Agency have to be reviewed again in comparison to the possible system containing Passion and its sibling categories. Of course, there will probably be a couple of different directories containing the category Love, most notably, Aesthetics. Such as Descartes ' Doctrine will have a unique directory, and it may be the definitive system for the location in the Life realm.

26-04-25 It is getting interesting as the system leads to revisiting the articles concerning virtues and vices, ancient mythology, and, I am sure, eventually, the schools of philosophy. Along with principles and values, I am possibly corralling these concepts that I have always found to be confusing because of the lack of what I now know as category structure.

What I mean by that is when I heard discussions referencing "principles and values," I always wondered what else is there that I have to know (sibling or class of categories), and what are the options for these abstractions (subcategories); and what is the difference between principles and values.

The term emotion was introduced into academic discussion as a catch-all term to passions, sentiments and affections.^[16] The word "emotion" was coined in the early 1800s by Thomas Brown and it is around the 1830s that the modern concept of emotion first emerged for the English language.^[17] "No one felt emotions before about 1830. Instead they felt other things – 'passions', 'accidents of the soul', 'moral sentiments' – and explained them very differently from how we understand emotions today."^[17]

Some cross-cultural studies indicate that the categorization of "emotion" and classification of basic emotions such as "anger" and "sadness" are not universal and that the boundaries and domains of these concepts are categorized differently by all cultures.^[18] However, others argue that there are some universal bases of emotions.^[19] In psychiatry and psychology, an inability to express or perceive emotion is sometimes referred to as alexithymia.^[20]
