INTRODUCTION
|
|
| |
Like all languages, UCADIA is constructed
from building block components. The primary components of UCADIA are objects
and concepts (called DA) and their
associated attributes that modify them (called MODIFIERS),
bridge associations between concepts and objects (called RELATORS),
associations that bridge between DA and MODIFIERS and/or RELATORS
(called ASSOCIATORS) and tense/perspective
(called TENSORS). |
|
| |
All these components are used to
construct a rich possible variety of symbol sentences (called
DIA) according to some essential rules of construction (DIA
rules of CONSTRUCTION). |
|
| |
However, UCADIA is also much more than
just different ways to describe things, it is a language built from a founding
principle that shape denotes meaning and classification in itself. |
|
| 5.1.1 |
Shape of objects and concepts in UCADIA |
|
| |
The concept is that knowledge and shape
may represent within itself knowledge capable of transmitting as much if not
more than the individual symbols themselves. |
|
| |
In nature, a mountain by its shape tell
us the journey of its rocks and trees and edges. So too, does a river, by its
course and its banks, the history of floods, of drought. Thus, UCADIA enables
one to view knowledge in its structure. |

The concept is that knowledge and shape
may represent within itself knowledge capable of transmitting as much if not
more than the individual symbols themselves. |

Complete classification structure of
UCADIA |
|
| |
A further point that makes UCADIA unique
is the way in which groups of symbols are categoried both in terms of their
purpose and category of meaning. |
|
| |
The following outlines the categorisation
of groups of symbols by their purpose as well as their category by common
meaning
|
|
| |
By purpose |
|
| |
UCADIA is divided into six levels of
purpose, beginning with the DA- the foundation symbol of an object or concept. |

By category of common meaning |
|
| |
UCADIA is also divided into
six levels of categorisation of common meaning, beginning with ALL, then ten
symbols down to the DAT classes of DA. |
