We can recognize the usefulness of setting up contrasts, categories and sub categories, remembering that these delineations are tools rather than actualities. In order to follow a meaningful strand of the idea network we locate a point and move out from it, or we designate a grouping and work within it. Some traditions of knowledge structure about knowledge are called mythologies, philosophies, sciences and arts. More modern categorizations break into specialized paths like linguistics, media and genetics. Like the Persians, Greeks, Romans and Victorians we consider ourselves advanced.
Science seems to be the most venerated contemporary category of knowledge structures.
Sharing a classical ancestry with philosophy, science has prestige in the idea net environment. Chaos and complexity bubble and boil. As entities amidst it, as a part of it, we surf or steer, plot or decipher a course, locate an identity and act. We could say that language is the fiber of a net of ideas. And language includes all types of communication, or information transfer, structures.
