How do we systematize the unknown?
-
Typical of this is Mendeleevâs discovery of the periodic table. He did not systematize the known. He considered what unknowns must be assumed to bring order to the known elements.
Memo for consideration of Systematization of the Unknown from Hatena2010-06-11.
-
âMake a list: what is known now is not everything.â
-
âThere is an order: there is no correct and only order.â
-
âThere are exceptions: removing exceptions by introducing new elements.â
-
âThere is a value: abstraction. Zero â real constant â function, probability distribution, complex number etc.â
-
âI donât understand regularity: observe simple examples and find regularity.â
-
âLots of variety: could it be a combination of lesser components?â
-
âA or B: Canât we just combine them?â
-
I brainstormed alone yesterday and came up with this much
- Consideration of 2021-06-28
-
âA or B: Canât we just combine them?â - choosing the wrong two options.
- Druckerâs âsystematization of the unknownâ is predicated on âsystematizingâ
- But have we actually systematized the unknown?
- What exactly did Mendeleev do?
- Known items sorted and arranged by nature and weight.
- I didnât think âeverything we knowâ at the time, but assumed âthere are unknownsâ and laid them out, and hereâs the great thing.
- This would be a case where there was already a sufficient amount of âknownsâ that we could find âholesâ by systematizing them!
- I didnât âsystematizeâ the unknown.
- Through systematization, they discovered the unknown.
- Means and Objectives
- Systematization is not an end but a means to discovery
- blind spot card
- This was created to see if we could assist in finding blind spots.
