- HyGlos: Showing knowledge
- ==========================
-
- Knowledge is information having structures or relationships that
- become obvious to the reader. What structures are obvious to
- others <link43 1 12>? Consider:
-
- Structure Comprehension limits with each structure
- ========= ========================================
- -- List People can't remember eight items in a list.
- -- Loop People can't remember six element rings.
- -- Array I can't get a 3 by 3 table into your mind.
- -- Dual path Getting from A to B in five ways is too complex.
- -- Superset Can you understand six overlapping commonalities?
-
- I believe five element hierarchies are the best structure because:
-
- -- Two element hierarchies seem too didactic (black and white)
- -- Three and four element hierarchies seem too symmetrical
- -- Six or more elements are too many items to remember
-
- For that reason, I use my language skills to present information using
- topics with five subtopics, making sure these topics appear complete,
- parallel, and in the right sequence <link32 2>.
