ontology of color - LeFreq/Singularity GitHub Wiki

Different color should signify different things. Colors should be separated meaningfully. The brain processes color instantly without the need for cognition and interpretation of symbols from a language. That's a powerful tool. We'll be advancing information and library science so that the whole of humanity can benefit. The standard RYB axiis provides 3 dimensions of order...

OS color schema, or knowledge hierarchy is a passive color ontology made for people browsing, based on complementary colors on 4 dimensions (XXXthese lines need swapped L-R so that cool colors are negative and hot colors are +):

  • Personal/Spirit (Cultural axis), who you are: red - green: personal/self/strength vs. transcendent/whole/wisdom
  • Business/Body (Economic axis), what you do: orange - blue: product/form/mechanism vs. method/function/magic
  • Knowledge/Mind (Educational axis), what you think: yellow - purple: data/concrete/learning/application vs. theory/abstract/teaching/philosophy
  • ?Core/Futures (Meta): metal - clear: DNA/computer disks vs. constitutions/maps metal vs. clear
  • Specificity/Soul (Civic-Responsibility axis), where you focus: black - white: remembrance|local vs. news|global
Exceptions: DNA, computer disks, constitutions, Specificity flips the yin and yang and a new set of 3 dimensions are required. (NOTE: how would one categorize the noun types: people, places, things, and events? These are 3 spatial axiis and 1 time, so there is an analogy here...) The last axis is special, in that the middle is gray, rather than "don't care" and transparent (no color). This axis is like Time in the 4d spacetime where the whole universe gets represented. The computer offers a good way to differentiate the top 3 similar functions. An application is the first axis and red, the source code for the application is the form and orange, and the machine code is the concrete machine code: yellow.

Further:

  • fiction vs. non-fiction requires a separate space of color/tagging/geometry; patterns to indicate this: stripes, polka-dots, plaids, etc.
  • materials intended for teachers and teaching vs. writings intended for a learner. florescent.
On each of these, the concrete form is on the left and the more abstract on the right. Consider these like a three-state vector from [-1,] with 0 meaning “don’t care”. The last dimension/axis has no "don't care" value -- you must choose somewhere along the gradient. Such choice selects the "ambient" color for the center of the other dimensions. See also content from 3D VISUALIZATION MODEL which shows a scheme for dynamic relationship to colors.

From these, one can start to name and catalog all colors for whatever level of topical specificity one wants. In between these, are particular databases or datasets (like botany data from the study of blueberry reproduction). This forms 8 dimension to the data. Then, there's usage data: how many people have looked/edited the data. This forms probably another 4.

A profile photo would be all the red, a little yellow, transparent on business, high local: dark red-orange. A picture of an undeveloped mountain range (with no signage or markers) would be high green, high yellow, no business, slightly white.

Colors form the root keyword as explained in data environment.

Fictional data, btw, would be a "don't care" on the fourth axiis (local vs. global).

D&D:
  • Red: STR
  • Orange: DEX
  • Yellow: CON
  • Green: WIS
  • Blue: INT (v5: CHR)
  • Purple: CHR (v3-5: INT)
XXXAll these topics form a data cloud with probably 20 dimensionsXXX Information science.

3^4=81 different hard values (where values are at their extrema or neutral, with 2^0=Cultural, 2^1=Economic, 2^2=Educational, 2^3=Civic; - values are the left-most and cool colors/yin, while + or right-hand values are hot colors/yang):
