20140328231742 remuse  

Started some logo and design experiments, just for the sake of exploration. May go this way, may not: tlogo.

It took me a while to see the layered meanings. First I thought "neo-knowledge." I have a bias against the word "new" even for products or tools that do break new ground, due to its ridiculous overuse in consumer marketing. Then I wondered if (tw) referred to TiddlyWiki, but I didn't think you would explicitly link TW to Tank's identity. Now I see it.

Tiddlers Are:

  • Net Knowledge
  • New Knowledge
  • Not Knowledge
  • Now Knowledge

Thought-provoking. A backronym, I think I've heard this exercise called? -- @remuse (BTW, I can't get used to markdown. No complaint here; I just keep botching my edits with wikitext habits.)

Yes, mostly a backronym, along with the notion of "a thing you put stuff in" (although the fishtank.jpg image is nice too). There's quite a lot of history to the way I think of knowledge and knowledge tools.

I like a statement early in that piece you linked to: "(I think) knowledge access structures are far more important than knowledge representation formalisms."

The pyramid model you described reminded me of my own acronym I penned in 2011: dig: meaning data / information / gnosis. I copied this tiddler over from TS to data→information→knowledge
