terms:

generalised reinterpretations of kuhn’s tools for thought: a new map of the territory

 

paradigm

  1. A paradigm is a system to resolve and account for an arbitrary scope of universal phenomena
    1. System: heuristics; principals; measures; mechanics
    2. Resolve: isolate; translate; reconcile
    3. Account: represent; relate; articulate; simulate; validate
  2. A paradigm is a map of territory
  3. A paradigm aligns

 

principal

  1. Principal: paradigmatic common unit; phenomenal model

 

measure

  1. Measure: qualitative, comparable; quantitative, evaluable

 

common measure

  1. Common measure: a measure common to to all principals in a set, or between some principles across different sets
  2. A common measure relates and aligns
  3. For any scope of principals, the set of common measures <= set of all measures
  4. Where a scope of principals includes common measure: common measures reflect the general case for the scope; relative uncommon measures imply special case

 

anomaly

  1. Anomaly refers to paradigmatically unresolvable phenomena
    1. Unresolved: unrepresentable, unrelatable, irreconcilable, unaccounted
  2. Phenomena unrepresented by paradigm, cannot be understood, nor reasoned
  3. Anomaly is map territory delta
    1. Map territory delta is the result of contrived principal: poor map territory fit
  4. Anomaly is an alignment issue; between paradigm and phenomenal scope

 

crisis

  1. Unresolved paradigmatic anomaly becomes paradigmatic crisis
  2. Crisis is an alignment issue; between paradigm and phenomenal scope

 

revolution

  1. Paradigmatic crisis is resolved by paradigmatic revolution ^[ The paradigmatic revolutionary lifecycle will be discussed: the view from over here ]
    1. Revolutionary paradigm directly addresses, and resolves, prior anomaly
  2. Revolution is paradigmatic alignment correction

 

revolutionary science

  1. Revolutionary science proposes paradigm and principals for arbitrary scopes of universal phenomena
  2. Revolutionary science speculates the infinite scope of all universal phenomena

 

normal science

  1. Normal science reconciles paradigm and principals with respective phenomena
  2. Normal science efficiently speculates a finite scope, constrained, and optimised, by paradigm
  3. Normal science evaluates map territory fit
    1. Fractional reconciliation, from general case through special case
    2. Unresolvable phenomena are anomalous
    3. Paradigmatically unresolved phenomena are map territory delta

 

musings

A paradigm is a map of territory: science develops maps of territory; engineering develops territory from maps.
