If one moves away from an objective, Platonic view of reality, then subject-ivity must follow. I think this must be reflected in the approach to our artificial (i.e., non-innate) representations of knowledge and information.<br /><br />This actually ties in quite strongly with my own research into Faceted Classification, where facets are individually bound by the constraints of their placement within a matrix or network of related ideas. (I'm extending the notion of FC beyond what is current, where facets are part of a simple hierarchy, and are rather part of a graph, which happens to be easily represented as a Topic Map graph, given its ability to support contexts via scoping.) I'm trying to think back on that whole "fractal reality" meme that went around years ago -- it seems to fit in as a puzzle piece as well.Murray Altheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04534203901894635975noreply@blogger.com
