The literature surveyed in the supporting research texts [@asr-research-knowledge-organization-systems; @asr-research-intellectual-differentiation; @asr-research-epistemological-structure; @asr-research-process-ontology; @asr-research-social-learning] does not converge on a single canonical schema. It does converge on a set of functional distinctions that any adequate schema must represent. This text synthesizes those distinctions into four organizing groups and their constituent directory types.</p> <h2 id="1-grounding-principle-categories-as-activities">1. Grounding principle: categories as activities</h2> <p>Process philosophy establishes that categories are better understood as ways of tracking patterns of becoming than as bins for finished things [@asr-research-process-ontology]. This permits — and the relational commitment of this project requires — that directory names take gerund form: they name activities, not substances. A <code>methods/</code> directory holds how-knowledge-is-produced, not an inert category called &ldquo;methods.&rdquo; The form is functional.</p> https://emsenn.net/library/domains/science/domains/information/domains/knowledge-systems/domains/knowing-semioverse/texts/specification/ Mon, 09 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://emsenn.net/library/domains/science/domains/information/domains/knowledge-systems/domains/knowing-semioverse/texts/specification/ <p>This specification defines conformance requirements for implementing a knowing semioverse. A knowing semioverse is an agential semioverse (already conforming to the base agential semioverse specifications) that additionally implements the four-group directory organization described in the knowing-semioverse index.</p> <h2 id="1-normative-scope">1.
