Principles

This is a reframing from Spherical Database Characteristics and Invariants. I have to reconcile the two. This is taken from my private Trello card, Principles.

• Spherical is a medium in which to develop and refine info organizing principles
• Reconcile hierarchical (folder) vs categorizing (labels) organizing
• For organized characterization of stuff across varying dimensions/domains
• Music, for playlists
• Utilities, e.g. software, job candidates
• Items (entities, objects) reside in the context of other items.
• The aspects (properties, attributes) of items can vary in different contexts
• Aspect is how we refer to an item's record in a context
• Congruence refers to the ways that the aspects are manifestations of the item
• spideroak.ken.email is different than ken.personal.email
• ken.email exposes both
• ken.spideroak includes spideroak-specific aspects of ken, e.g. email
• ken.address includes various email, phone, home, etc
• Is ken.spideroak different than spideroak.ken?
• Revision is a particular kind of aspect
• has particular relationships
• r2014.ken.personal.email is different than r2000.ken.personal.email (and likewise, it so happens, for .address.postal)
• Congruence is, itself, an item that has various aspects
• I think we can express congruence relationships spherically
• so spherical operates according to the info in the data structure
• and extending the data structure extends spherical
• Reconcile hierarchical (folder) vs categorizing (labels) organizing
• Characterizing anything, across various dimensions/domains
• Music, for playlists
• Utilities, e.g. software, job candidates
