An Everyman’s Snapshot of the Sum Total of Human Knowledge
Think of this as the Museum of All Human Knowledge. We've spent thousands of years in relentless curiosity about how things work, recording and passing on what we discovered. It's all been adding up. The MetaMind Project compresses this long history of trying to figure things out into one panoramic view of where we're at now. Please wander...
Under construction: Yeah, sounded good for a minute, but it doesn't actually exist. Keeping in mind the spotted history of works in progress, this view will be steadily populated, node by node. Already, the outline below represents the heart of the idea, there for your consideration! Follow the node counter.
We've divided all of human knowledge as it stands in 2026 into 15 main domains. Then we dig down two more levels, into the sub-domains and their sub-domains. It can go a lot deeper, but the top three levels are all you need get the big picture!
We've made up special languages, like math, logic and statistics, that let us do things we can imagine—build a tall building, land on the Moon—not possible only by trial and error. [more]
A perfectly self-contained language built up from basic rules we long ago agreed on to describe patterns we observe.
Fitting the fuzziness of everyday language into rigid, predictable rules in order to test the truth of arguments.
Using the strict rules of math to find meaning through patterns hidden in mountains of observations.
Making working simulations of reality, trading the unpredictable work of observation and speculation in the field for the efficiency of multiple scenario testing on a model in the lab.
Formalizing uncertainty and chaos by trying to establish the contours of possibilities rather than a fixed unfolding path.
