Constructing a hierarchical wiki

• previous:: hierarchical-longterm-wiki

Building an ecosystem of knowledge with the philosophy from Wiki

Note: Everything mentioned is only a presently chosen custom, and is possible to change in the future (and has been changed times again), as the wiki develops.

The Subjects §

As it was clarified, its best to create the wiki in its primary stage with a cascading style definition of subjects.

Let each subject reside in their own folder with a shortened name.

- 00 Wiki
	- cs/          \\ Computer
	- chm/         \\ Chemistry
	- ea/          \\ Earth
	- ast/         \\ Astronomy
	- mat/         \\ Mathematics
	- phy/         \\ Physics
	- bio/         \\ Biology

With Dendron each such subject is given a “root” note.

Physics §

Frameworks §

Frameworks characterise the primary axioms for kinematics and dynamics of the universe, particles and fields.

The motivation for a proper hierarchial base for frameworks in Theoretical Physics come in these following steps:

1. Starting at Newtonian and by extension all of Classical Mechanics,
2. We must deviate from the origin in three different ways:
   • a Gravitational interaction related with the constant $G$
   • a relativistic understanding of the universe itself, content in the constant $c^{-1}$
   • a amplitudistic dynamics of particles and fields that result in Quantum theories, related to the constant $\hslash$
3. All the 3 deviations follow the correspondence principle when the constants are ”turned on” from 0 (at origin) to 1
4. There are following combinations of the “frameworks” from these deviations (the order of the constants follow their historical developments: $G{c}^{-1}\hslash$ ):
   • 000 Mechanics - (origin) Classical Mechanics (non-relativistic, non-quantum without gravity)
   • 100 Mechanics - Classical Mechanics with Newtonian Gravitation, Celestial Mechanics
   • 010 Mechanics - “Special Relativistic” Mechanics
   • 001 Mechanics - Non-Relativistic Mechanics
   • 110 Mechanics - “General Relativity” and Gravitation
   • 011 Mechanics - Quantum Field Theory
   • 111 Mechanics - ?Quantum Gravity?
5. The dynamics in each of these characteristicly depend on the framework they are based on.

Theories §

A Theory is a implementation of the mechanics in a given framework.

A Theory must always be settled with a framework.

• Electrodynamics - the theory of Electromagnatic fields and charges
  • 010E - Classical Electrodynamics
  • 110E - Classical Electrodynamics in curved SpaceTime
  • 010E - Quantum Electrodynamics and more!
• 0½½ME Theory of Matter, Heat and Fields
  • Heat: Transfer and Thermostatics
  • Continuum Mechanics
    • Solid Mechanics
    • Fluid Mechanics
    • Electromagnatic Fluid Mechanics
• 0½½E Electromagnetics - Electromagnetic Circuitry, Electronics - Optics

Statistical Mechanics §

It transends any framework!

Statistical mechanics is the art of turning the microscopic laws of physics into a description of Nature on a macroscopic scale.

More fields of study and further levels in the hierarchies will be added as the wiki develops.

The Physics part of the wiki currently looks like this:

Chemistry §

Organic Chemistry §

Let there be three hierarchies:

• Organic Formalism
• Organic Compounds
• Organic Reactions

“Formalism” shall contain the foundational and theoretical formalism aspects of the subject, and “Compounds” and “Reactions” would contain those things precisely following some category divisions.

This may be considered a first draft:

I have constructed a second iteration of the Mathematics wiki structure over at Constructing a Mathematics Wiki.
