Glossary and Definitions


1. Triplex. Triplex means three-fold, consisting of three parts. It is used instead of "trinity" because "trinity" suggests the notion of 3 separate entities, such as found in the Christian Trinitarian doctrine, with the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Triplex suggests that a singular entity is composed of three inter-related parts each of which co-exist with an equal footing, ie.each part is just important as the other two.

2. Unity. Technically Unity means being "many joined as one", and therefore suggests being a singular entity, however in this case, it means being "unified". So, a particular system is unified with another system because it shares the same internal structure. The word was chosen over others because it needs to convey the sense of joining several systems together based on them possessing similar attributes.

3. Triplicity. Triplicity means a "set of three", or the attitude of being "triple". For the purposes of this theory, triplicity refers to a system of knowledge that has been broken down to show its three-fold nature. In the case of Triplex Unity Theory, a Triplicity refers specifically to a subject area that has been divided and defined into a three-fold system, graphically represented by a geometrical shape, called a Geometry.

4. Geometry. Geometry can mean both the field of mathematics concerned with measurement of 3 dimensional space, and also a configuration, or a shape. For the purposes of Triplex Unity Theory, we will be using the latter definition - Geometry in our case refers specifically to the simple, graphical image used to represent a Triplicity. Basic Geometries within Triplex Unity Theory consist of a triangle, circle and square, and two or three arrows. As the theory is developed further, there may be further elements added to this definition.

5. World View. "World View" refers to our perception of reality as a whole entity. It is our individual, personal view of the world as we know it, that encompasses all our perceptions, experiences, thoughts and memories into a singular, coherent, consistent and contiguous stream of consciousness through which we operate as a human being. Our world view is what we use as our foundation when relating to the environment, and other individuals within it, and is what is shattered that causes us to lose our sanity.

6. Subject Area, or Field of Study. A "subject area" in Triplex Unity Theory refers to a major topic, or a general field of endeavour in the real world. It is the top-level, over-arching term used to define any particular body of knowledge under discussion. It contains within it, at a greater level of detail, a single, or possibly many "frameworks of knowledge". A Subject Area transcends any particular mental construct or theoretical framework of knowledge that any particular individual or school of thought may form within the Subject Area used to define the subject or discuss it. This means that there can be several different or opposing interpretations by more than one individual, of the Subject Area

7. Framework of knowledge. A "framework of knowledge", or a "knowledge framework", is a second-level term used to define a particular body of knowledge. It contains the sense of a constructed theoretical framework in which knowledge has been consciously organised by either an individual or a school of thought. While there can be a number of frameworks of knowledge within a particular Subject Area, they are each the particular construction of the individual or school of thought within the Subject Area, that represent that individual's, or school's interpretation of the totality of the Subject Area.

8. System of information. 'Systems of information" is a third-level term used to define organised and commonly understood bodies of knowledge used on a day to day basis by people in general. It refers to information arranged into systems that are commonly used by all individuals or schools of thought, regardless of differing perspectives.

9. Items of Information. An "Item of information" refers to commonly understood, everyday details within a system of information on a more specific, locally defined level. It is refers to small collections of detail, composed of Units of information, .

10. Units of Information. "Units of information" are single, individual facts that exist at the basic level of scrutiny. They are "building blocks" of information that are used to construct all other practical and theoretical understandings of information we have.

11. Analogous systems. This is an established technical term referring to separate systems that possess attributes which are similar in a variety of possible ways, that enable these systems to operate together without much need of specialised interfacing.

12. Progressive.

13. Converging.

14. Divergent.

15. Cycling.

16. Strangeness. "Strangeness" refers to information, objects or events that appear out of place, but are present within a system for no apparent, explainable reason. There MAY be a logical explanation for the strangeness, but at a given moment, ie the present, or when the strangeness is discovered, there is at that time no logical, rational explanation for the occurence of this information.
