Dream jottings:
Thesaurus can be Index
where everything is linked.
Set up an experiment
in gesturing the wind.
It’s time to tag the Posts again
to track recurring themes.

But the howling wind of yesterday
demands attention more.

Now.
To make,
or analyze or document?
Animate the howl!
the katabatic
pressure to
decide.

The waking from sleeping is a great time for ideas. I woke this morning with plans of basalt, to watch (to animate) a wall added to , to document patterns of flagging and walls.

Dear Lisa
A wonderful idea. My impression is that your thesaurus (in its current
form) is more of a dictionary of usage. If its roll is to change to an
index it could me more of a Directory. I note that the visual
thesaurus people now offer sound as well. That would be a nice
dimension to include – especially for the wind. No wind in your
thesaurus – yet.
However, using the letters of the alphabet to define the limits of
your datscape is perhaps a flawed text driven approach.
I think you are right in thinking that the key to using your WordPress
infrastructure is to harness the power of the Categories. As we have
discussed before, the categories represent a taxonomy of your thinking
space. Coming up with a set or durable categories is a core challenge.
In the metadata domain (where I often hang out) experience has shown
that there is always a trade off to be negotiated between the minimal
(simple) and the comprehensive (complex).
The rules are deeply embedded in nature. 1 is heaven, 3 is optimal, 5
is accepable, 8 is an effort, 13 is stretching it, 21 is too many.

What if your categories were visual rather than textual? There is a
bit of if this then that PHP work to be done but it should be fairly
simple for someone who knows PHP.
