We have the same goal.
   My "decontextualization" of hard-line words and concepts was a
   way to verify for myself that, "Ok, it's babble. BUT..."
   and now I'm in the "But..." part.

   Here's a thought to consider, as it's the direction I've chosen.
   See if you can answer the categorization issue for yourself,
   entirely subjectively. Find your own threads and categories...
   use real-world systems that exist for categorization of
   knowledge to categorize yourself. See what fits. See what
   doesn't.

   I've taken that approach and it's been extremely helpful to me
   because I'm starting to be able to see "myself" as I might been
   seen from "the future if I was a historican studying me and my
   writings and thoughts.

   How will John Lepouras be categorized on a shelf?

   If he wrote 1000 books, where would they go?

   Stuff like that. _very_ helpful for me and it's leading me
   towards the direction I _really_ want - which is where you're
   going as well. One example of many;a simple one; took all the
   words I wrote and collected in one place (forget the vine and id
   but the rest qualify) over a period of 27 years to get a decent
   sampling of word frequency. Within the word frequency are some
   patterns implying my "way", although it's basic. Still the
   volume of data helps give it some validity in some sense. Or my
   other project - my favorite - using
   [1]http://act-dl.base-search.net/textclassifier to classify my
   writing style compared to academic papers that were trained
   using AI and it found "what I was talking about" (concepts),
   using a corpus of 9000+ writings I did. [not all of them but
   again, strong enough sample for it to have some validity] What I
   found interesting wasn't "where I fit", but rather "where I
   *don't fit" and I realized I was seeing the world through
   different eyes altogether than some people. I already knew it,
   but seeing it confirmed was marvelous.

   This map conforms to a dewey decimal 000-999. You can literally
   walk through the stacks and know that the Top and Middle rows
   are areas I'm going to write about.

   But the bottom row are things I NEVER write about _from their
   viewpoint_. I may talk *about* those things, but ONLY in "light
   of" - literally - as these were filters or sieves, the above two
   rows.

   Very englightening to me. I know you can't read it... the
   original is HUGE.. but it gets the idea across. My thinking is
   this:
   If I can't answer these questions FOR MYSELF,
   How could I possibly be in a position to answer them for ALL
   humanity?
