Tools for non-linear access to multi-disciplinary domain knowledge
Linguistics | Philosophy | Epistemology | Ontology | Phenomenology | Assertion | Assumption | Cascade | Definition | Dimension | Existence | Justification | KnowledgeEvery existential assertion creates a cascade of existential assumptions.
Take, for example the brief definition: Dimensions are measures of magnitude or extent. In order to understand this defintion, the concepts mentioned on the surface--measures, magnitudes and extents--must each exist and I must be able to know as much. The existential requirements of this relatively simple assertion are thus complicated by knowledge requirements.
So we know that knowledge is involved. But what do we know about knowledge? We know that the nature of knowledge, its very possibilty, and the range of what can be known relies upon the nature of existence, its possiblities, and the range of what can exist.
Existential Foot in Mouth
Philosohy | Existential Dependencies | Existence | Justification | WormholeTo even begin to try to articulate something implies an interconnected web of existing things. My mouth moves, vocal chords vibrate, interact with CO2 molecules to produce sound...My hand reaches for a pen, or for the keyboard, and begins to pump out linguistically structured concepts in recognizable little symbolic bundles.
