The construct I am designing is to be applicable to any set of beliefs; sort of like the Dewy Decimal System for enumerating library volumes is designed to be applicable to any publication. If that goal is not clear to you, let me know and I will try to clarify my meanings.
Yes I understand what you are trying to do. Just doubt the validity of why you are trying to do it.

Mathematics cannot explain the universe alone.

E= hV

means nothing unless you know what h and V represent and you have to use language to do that.
Cheers

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
