Collecting Idea Sets Across Cultures and Academic Disciplines


A Polynym1 (or Polyad) is simply a group of related ideas: an idea set. All cultures and disciplines use idea sets to break down and better understand complex systems—from Yin/Yang to the Seven Deadly Sins.

Polynyms.com enables people like you to help build the largest collection of idea sets ever made.


Bennett1 and Miller2 showed small sets of ideas can help us understand how we think. We hope this site will attract a diverse hive mind to collect idea sets.

Please help this research and share your thoughts! Read the FAQ for more.

THANK YOU
