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. That portion of the void which is knowable via the named voids already inside the known space. KnownSpace NamedVoid A space which has the property that adding more stuff creates a larger adjecent possible void. Stuff Void NamedVoid SelfDiscovery world wide web A way of knowing based on what is positive or strong Malgnosis SelfDiscovery AutocatalyticSpace A perspective based on the flow of time Synchronic A scale-independent property ScaleFreeSpace StackedScales A way of knowing based on what is wrong or failing. Benegnosis SelfDiscovery AutocatalyticSpace A means of viewing a space, based on a perspective of a browser which is able to apply different garment to the objects under view. Intrinsic ProtoSpace ScaleFreeSpace StackedScales The combination of the known space and the void. KnownSpace Void NamedVoid Stuff A space in which connectivity between elements (points) is not constant. Some points may be highly interconnected, while others are less connected, according to a power law. The process by which a space discovers itself by progressively discovering the values of named voids A perspective of looking at a system along a continuum of scales, for example, looking at health from the perspective of the molecule, gene, cell, organ, immune system, person, family, community, nation, species. Diachronic That which is in the known space, including the Named Voids which link to the unknown A perspective based on a snapshot in time Garment NamedVoid Stuff The process of growing a space by filling named voids, which in turn create more named voids. The is a collection of the NamedVoids which have been created in WITTy conversation, representing expressions of those things which are unknown. Pattern weavers may use this pool to find MissingNothings which can then be used to create or refine patterns. Significant NamedVoids may be collected into a Tapestry, showing the interplay of that which is known and that which is unknown. The pool allows discoure to proceed, naming voids to be filled in later. The Wiki protocol is an example of this. For example, a WikiWord can be entered onto a page, which then appears with a question mark after it. The user has created a NamedVoid. This appears in the UnknowledgePool until it is filled in. The progress of the word, first as unknown and later as known, is tracked as part of the diachronic perspective of the system.
