Knowledge Architect


Welcome
KnowledgeArchitect.org, is a pionneer site dedicated to knowledge, as well as its natural and artificial architecture.

Natural Phenomenon
As we further consider here, knowledge is a natural phenomenon, possibly the most fundamental. That is why it is so intuitive and subconscious. That is why understanding it is not required to use it.

Structure of Reality
Knowledge is the structure of reality. The energy that is one and encompasses everything, is instantiates knowledge. The natural knowledge architecture is that of reality and existence.

Evolution
Without knowledge, evolution can not be. Evolving implies knowing the structure of the existing in order to try to improve it, or on it. Evolution is a very fundamental knowledge process, as it creates and evolves structures, energy structures, as everything is energy.

Knowledge Processing Basics
To process knowledge, humans, for example, have some prerequisites, starting with the fact that they need to model it in their mind, which can only be done with identified chunks, these are referred to as knowledge resources. Note that indentification, which can take many forms, is key since it can't be identified, it can not be managed.

Model
Minds operate on knowledge resource models. For example, a vehicle driver operates the model of the vehicle, as well as the model of the surrounding reality, in his mind, where there are no effective vehicle nor roads, buldings, etc.

Knowledge Resources
Knowledge can also be qualified as the collection of all knowledge resources. In that sense, knowledge is only knowledge resources. These resources can be resource collections of any size or shape. As well, knowledge resources can be nested to any level, within other resources, where they can also be considered component resources of the parent or encompassing resource.


Archetypes
Modelling everything that could exist, concrete or virtual, knowledge resources can take many forms and types. Yet, some of them, often referred to as archetypes are more fundamental than others and none so much as relationships.

Relationships
Relationships are resources like any other but they also define and qualify the relationships between other resources of any kind, including other relationships.

Qualified Relationships
In principle, relationships are directional, between their sources or owners and their targets. Multidirectional relationships are relationship collectons, where each has its own sources, targets and directionality.

Qualification
Referred to as qualified relationships because each is fully qualified, determining the roles of its sources and targets, its goals and strategies, associated behaviors, conditions and contraints. Qualified relationships are key in many ways, especially as they define and structure knowledge graphs, as well as define meaning, purpose, strategy and operation modes.

Alternate Definition
While the previous definition of knowledge seems conceptual and more complete, knowledge can also be defined as the sum of all knowledge that ever existed, exists, or will ever exist.

Knowledge vs Information
Knowledge could also be somewaht defined from its relation to information, as the sum of all information as well as all meta-information or information on information, along with all information on meta-information, and everything around, including meta-cognition.

Information
This last definition intoduces some of the differences between knowledge and information, but there is more. For one, let's briefly consider a key hierarchy:

  • Collaboration is a key knowledge tool
  • Sharing is a key collaboration tool
  • Communication is a key sharing tool
  • Information is a communication tool


Knowledge Hierarchy

Data
Data is the computer representation of content, any content. Information Data is computerized information representation. Knowledge data is computerized knowledge representation.

Knowledge Data
Knowledge Data is highly structured and represented knowledge graphs built around qualified relationships. It is key to effective artificial intelligence.

Understanding Intelligence?
So far, although it seems key to developing effective artificial intelligence, very few seem to have a clear understanding of what is intelligence. Most, including AI chatbots and AI gurus typically list what may seem like some "intelligent" behaviors, but can't clearly define what is intelligence, not in a clear and actionable way, as required for computerizing. The reason is quite simple, as noted above, knowledge and intelligence are natural phenomena, built into our DNA, that we naturally evolved to use. They are intuitive and typically operate subconsciously.

What is Intelligence?
Intelligence is the ability to process Knowledge.

Glossary
Because understanding is key, KnowledgeArchitect.org tries to maintain a glossary of knowledge architecture related terms, inluding some possibly more specific to 01 COMMUNICATIONS' DNAOS knowledge processing technology & collaboration platform. The KnowledgeArchitect glossary section already includes definitions for over 300 Knowledge Architecture related terms.
