Dictionary and References of ADEPT Notation

Introduction

This dictionary of ADEPT terminology is broken into five sections:

  1. Graph Schema concerns the ADEPT terms pertinent to graphs.
  2. Trinary Logic of Secondary References concerns the terms used to express the rules that govern pattern recognition in ADEPT.
  3. Axiomatic Ontological Constructs concerns the terms used in identifying the primary patterns of recognizable meaning in an ADEPT instance.
  4. Derivative Ontological Constructs concerns the terms uses in identifying the secondary patterns of recognizable meaning in an ADEPT instance.
  5. Algorithmic Steps concerns a sequenced method for recognizing the ontological constructs and the rules of trinary logic of secondary references in order to apply the ADEPT notation as a graph schema.
  6. Reference Diagrams are helpful downloads for understanding the ADEPT schema.

Each section is followed by a helpful collection of diagrams pertaining to the content just presented.

Abbreviations of the terms used in diagramming are noted to the right of each entry.

image483

Source Channel

[z]

 The original aspect of an ADEPT node is conveyed through the source [z] channel from another ADEPT node. 

Rivulets

Rivulet notation indicates all derivation and function of an ADEPT node. A rivulet is abbreviated as three characters which reflect its depth, pool and nature (see axiomatic ontological constructs). A rivulet also has a common name alluding to its purpose. Rivulets have functionally-equivalent variants called trickles.

Alyx

Alyx is the collection of all symbolic content in an ADEPT instance. In other words, it is the group of all nodes that have a variable property.

Variable Property

variable

"variable" is the name of the only node property that exists within an ADEPT instance.  Its value is a distinctly unique element of content represented as a string of encoded characters that either are the content, or link to it.

Considerations

A consideration is a set of relationships (called channels) that are examined to determine the patterns that will correlate with particular meanings (called ontological constructs) in ADEPT.

image489

First Consideration

[t], [u] & [w] channels

Contains the Aether (H) Nature and has to do with the origination of context.

image490

Second Consideration

thing [t], use[u], variety [v] and word [w] channels

Contains the Translation (T) Nature and has to do with the origination and contextualization of content.

image491

Third Consideration

word [w], subject [x], object [y] and source [z] channels

Contains the Being (B), Ground (G) and Light (L) Natures and has to do with final existence.

Axiomatic Ontological Constructs

Depth

The three depths are assigned from patterns in the word [w] channel.

Manifest Depth

M

  • A node which itself has (or descends from a node that has) a self-referencing word [w] channel.
  • logically determinate in patterns.
  • accounts for 20 rivulets types and 87 trickles sub-types.

Shadow Depth

S

  • A node which itself does not have (or descends from a node that does not have) a self-referencing word [w] channel.
  • logically indeterminate in patterns.
  • accounts for 20 rivulet types and 66 trickle sub-types.

Obscure Depth

O

  • A node that does not have a word [w] channel.
  • logically non-determinate.
  • accounts for the same 20 rivulet types and 66 trickle sub-types as the shadow depth.

Pool

These four are determined directly from patterns in the graph for each node that have to do with the thing [t] and use [u], or subject [x] and object [y] channels.

Ascription Pool

A

  • has a manifest thing [t] channel and lacks a manifest use [u] channel or has a manifest subject [x] channel and lacks a manifest object [y] channel.
  • can convey an individual or subjective perspective.
  • Diagramming convention gives ascription an orange coloring.

Description Pool

D

 

  • has a manifest use [u] channel and lacks a manifest thing [t] channel or has a manifest object [y] channel and lacks a manifest subject [x] channel.
  • can convey a grouping or objective perspective.
  • Diagramming convention gives description a green coloring. 

Entity Pool

E

  • has congruent thing [t] and use [u] channels, or congruent subject [x] and object [y] channels.
  • can convey an intrinsic or extrinsic perspective.
  • Diagramming convention gives entity a blue coloring. 

Process Pool

P

  • has incongruent thing [t] and use [u] channels, or incongruent subject [x] and object [y] channels. 
  • can convey an origination perspective.
  • Diagramming convention gives process a purple coloring. 

Nature

The five natures are assigned from patterns in the variety [v] and source [z] channels.

Aether Nature

H

Aether nature nodes have an original role in establishing context.

  • Any node regardless of whether it has a source [z] channel is a member of the aether (H) nature in the first consideration.
  • Accounts for 8 rivulets and 32 trickles

Translation Nature

T

Translation nature nodes have a transcendent role in applying content to context.

  • Any node with an incoming variety [v] channel is a member of the translation (T) nature and the second consideration.
  • Accounts for 8 rivulets and 3 trickles

Light Nature

L

Light nature nodes have a final role in defining contextualized content but do not iterate.  They represent the facts of history and information "at rest".

  • Any node with an absent or shadow process in the source [z] channel is a member of the light (L) nature and the third consideration.
  • Accounts for 8 rivulets and 40 trickles.

Ground Nature

G

Ground nature nodes have a productive role in iterating contextualized content.

  • Any node with a manifest process in the source [z] channel that lacks any congruence with the subject [x] or object [y] channels is a member of the ground (G) nature and the third consideration.
  • Accounts for 8 rivulets and 25 trickles.

Being Nature

B

Being nature nodes have an intentional role in iterating contextualized content. They represent information that has a conscious or willful intention.

  • Any node with a manifest process in the source [z] channel that has congruence with the subject [x] or object [y] channels is a member of the being (B) nature and the third consideration.
  • Accounts for 8 rivulets and 20 trickles.

Derivative Ontological Constructs

Currents

The eight currents are rivulet groupings that flow into the channels of thing, use, subject, object and source. Currents are about constraining and directing the flow of information within an ADEPT instance. Their ontology is derived from their parent depth and pool. Because of their use in defining iterative collections of rivulets, the non-iterative light nature rivulets are excluded. The Obscure currents are considered as functional equivalents of their corresponding shadow currents.
