Actually Fish, I wouldn’t even attempt a db approach to it, at least not with the concepts. Databases are great for organizing information and quantifying it, they’re not so good for defining concepts. We’re not there yet; someday perhaps but not now.

We have a problem with the fuzziness of neural nets and until we handle that….

I think what Tormod and the moderators are doing is perfect. This constitutes a way into the knowledge tree and we can/should be able to drill into whatever area we wish. It’s an excellent start and this website is wide open to everything, as it should be.

One thing that we don’t do yet is have an indication of the truth value of a particular branch on that tree and no way to affect the visualization of that truth value one way or the other.

We also don’t have a visual of the tree yet, that would help.

Fools don’t have a monopoly on blindness. The best among us have blind-spots and operate from fallacies. But I think that were we able to implement a way of visualizing the truth value of a belief, a line of reasoning, a concept, etc. it might help in unusual unforeseen ways. It might save a lot of time, for one thing.

Fascinating subject though.
