Hello
I've added a a couple of categories to the content terms in Categories and also added a few descriptions and synonyms. Wondered if anyone would like to add to this or edit any of the terms and descriptions that I've put in?
tell us more

maybe you could let us know here in this forum which categories and descriptions you added and why? which could hopefully be a good starting point for discussion.

Ok. The categories I added are Language and Water.
Language- I felt we needed a broad description of the way we communicate in general, hopefully this description can encompass most of that 'any form of communication that involves the systematic use of signs, symbols or code' synonyms for this - dialect, semantic, linguistic, translation, expression
Poetry may encompass a part of language that perhaps is not so clear cut. For this I added 'language that hold more than a literal meaning' synonyms- imagery, semantic, translation, metaphor
Water is quite a selfish category for me as I love it so much and most of my future work will touch upon this subject and its relationship to the other waves system in electromagnetism. I found it quite hard to describe but came up with 'a clear liquid substance' but this will probably change (help?!), the synonyms or rather 'related terms' are probably more telling -fliud, mutable, flow.
Cooking I added the description 'changing a substance by the process of heating'...there are perhaps more things one would want to cook other than food? Synonyms- fire, heat, bake
Elektromagnetic I added 'a force that employs both electrical and magnetic energy' this is a classic physics description...perhaps it needs something broader. the synonyms I put in are related terms rather than meanings but is this not what this excercise is about? related terms- aether, spectrum, light, radio, quantum
Other synonyms I added were in security - protection, safety
and in Research - exploration, investigation
