The Unknowledge Pattern Language http://www.nooron.org/know/unknowledge_pattern_language Unknowledge Patterns describe ways of talking about that which is unknown. For example, the discovery of the periodic table of the elements created a pattern of information about what we didn't know about the elements, until we "filled in the blanks." These "named voids" in our knowledge were powerful attractors, and shaped the discourse of science. Are there other ways of naming voids which shape our discovery? The discovery of zero, a "missing nothing," was one of the turning points in Western thought. Are there other missing nothings lurking about, waiting to be discovered? If so, how do we name these voids, and to what end? This is the stuff of unknowledge management. Adjacent Possible Intent That portion of the void which is knowable via the named voids already inside the known space. References KnownSpace NamedVoid Autocatalytic Space Intent A space which has the property that adding more stuff creates a larger adjecent possible void.
