Knowledge Networks
A universal framework for conceptualizing any subject matter.
Nature has never relied on tables, columns, fields, rows, or records to organize information.
Networks, lattices, points, vectors, and nodes connected by edges, hubs, and spokes constitute a universal and versatile framework for conceptually representing any subject.
Any subject may be conceptually represented through entities and connections. An entity denotes a thing in a static state, whereas a connection denotes an action describing how two entities interact with one another.
- Atoms, connected by chemical bonds
- Individuals, connected by relationships
- Celestial bodies, connected by imagined lines forming recognizable constellations
- Transit stops, connected by routes on a metro map
- Information systems, connected by interfaces
- Milestones, connected by elapsed time within time series or roadmaps
