**What's the point?**\\
The goal is to find deeper meaning, within language and between ourselves. By acquiring commonsense knowledge from people across disciplines, regions and cultures, we can approach a singularity of meaning and understanding.

**How does it work?**\\
Our approach involves collection and analysis of //idea sets// -- a set of dimensions used to frame a concept. The resulting "thesaurus" can be used to populate knowledgebase systems for natural language processing. //Developers note//: Nymology is open source, and a REST API is provided.

**What is nymology?**\\ Think of **//nymology//** as the pursuit of **word-sensibility**, related to [[wp>phenomenology|phenomenology]], [[wp>semiotics|semiotics]],  [[wp>natural language processing|Natural Language Processing (NLP)]], [[wp>LogoVisual_thinking|LogoVisual Thinking (LVT)]], [[wp>construction_grammar|construction grammar]] and [[wp>mad libs|Mad Libs]].

**What is numeronomy?**\\ Think of **//numeronomy//** as the pursuit of **set-sensibility**, an interdisciplinary cross-cultural //idea set theory//, related to [[wp>Computational_lexicology|computational lexicology]] and [[wp>Systematics_–_study_of_multi-term_systems|Bennettian Systematics]].\\

===== Polynym =====
//Polynyms// are //idea sets//, or //multi-term systems//, in which each dimension functions as a part, step or type of the main topic:\\

<WRAP round info>A polynym's **mode** is its part/step/type role.\\ A polynym's **depth** is its dimension count.
</WRAP></WRAP>

==== Set-nyms ====
<WRAP column 45%>
The **union** of two polynyms (their //combined// dimensions) is termed a **//unionym//**:
<WRAP box>''**{P2:yinyang} ⋃ {P3:psyche|Freud}\\ <wrap indent>= {ego, id, superego, yin, yang}</wrap>**''</WRAP>
The **intersection** of two polynyms (their //shared// dimensions) is termed a **//sectionym//**:\\
<WRAP box>''**{P4:self|Jung} ⋂ {P7:energy|chakras}\\ <wrap indent>= {feeling, thinking}</wrap>**''</WRAP>
</WRAP>

**//Supernym/subnym//** represent polynym superset/subset relationships:\\
<WRAP column 45%>
<WRAP box>''**subnym ⊆ supernym:\\ <wrap indent>{feeling, thinking} ⊆ {P4:self|Jung}</wrap>**''</WRAP>

==== Polymap ====
The dimensional relationships between two polynyms is termed a **//polymap//**. Relationship types are adopted from [[http://conceptnet.io|ConceptNet]]:

=== Polyset ===
A **//polyset//** is a polynym set:
<WRAP box>''**[{P2:yinyang}, {P2:psyche}, {P4:self|Jung}]**''</WRAP>

=== Vectornym ===
A **//vectornym//** is a polynym array:
<WRAP box>''**{P2:yinyang} → {P2:psyche} → {P4:self|Jung}**''</WRAP>

<WRAP round info>For vectornyms and polysets:
  * **length** is the polynym count
  * **width** is the total dimension count
</WRAP>
</WRAP>

<WRAP column 45%>
=== Inside a Polynym ===
Polynyms have implied internal relationships, depending on mode:
^ Polynym Mode ^ Implied Relationships ^
| part | Dimension → PartOf → Topic |
| step | Dimension → UsedFor → Topic\\ Dimension → CapableOf → Topic\\ Dimension1 → Causes → Dimension2 |
| type | Dimension → IsA → Topic\\ Dimension → MannerOf → Topic |
</WRAP>

===== Quadranym =====
<WRAP column 45%>
A **//quadranym//** is a four-part conceptual construct using a dual-axis //mode-state// model. Quadrants **EROS** relate **Expansion-Reduction** modes and **Objective-Subjective** states:
| **E** = expand ^ | **O** = object |
^ | **N** = Topic Name ^ |
| **S** = subject ^ | **R** = reduce |
</WRAP>

<WRAP column 45%>
<WRAP round tip>
Related four-part constructions include the [[wp>semiotic_square|Semiotic Square]], the [[wp>Hypostatic_model_of_personality|Hypostatic model]] and Bennett's [[systematics#four-foldness_in_systematics|Tetrads]]. For more on //quadranym theory// see **[[http://buildintuit.com|BuildIntuit]]**.</WRAP>
=== Part-of-Speech (POS) by quadranym type: ===
^ \\ **Q type** ^ **N =\\ Topic** ^ **E / R\\ Modes** ^ **O / S\\ States** ^
| **//Freeform//** | any | any | any |
| **//Conjugal//** | any | VB | NN |
</WRAP>

==== Qode Script ====
<WRAP column 45%>
**//Qode//** describes a templating script for quadranym dimensions and POS-tags:
<WRAP box>''**q[number][n, e, r, o, s]_[ADJ, NN, NNS, VB, VBD, VBG, VBN]**''</WRAP>

For example, the following calls a 3rd quadranym's //expansion// term in past tense:
<WRAP box>''**You q3e_VBD the door.**''</WRAP>
</WRAP>

<WRAP column 45%>
<WRAP round info>Qode scripts accept a subset of [[wp>WordNet|WordNet]] tags:
^ **Adjectives** ^ **Nouns** ^ **Verbs** ^ 
| ADJ : fun | NN : item | VB : eat |
| | NNS : items | VBD : ate |
| | | VBG : eating |
| | | VBN : eaten |
</WRAP>
</WRAP>

==== Templates ====
<WRAP column 45%>
**[[http://db.polynyms.com|Nymology]]** uses [[wp>phrasal templates|phrasal templates]] to explore meaning structures:
  * A **//phrase//** is an enqoded template requiring just one **quadranym**.
    * A **//story//** is a list of **phrase-quadranym** pairs.

  * A **//fable//** is an enqoded template requiring multiple **quadranyms**.
    * A **//tale//** is a **fable** with its required number of **quadranyms**.
</WRAP>

<WRAP column 45%>
**NEROS-string**\\
Each letter in a **//NEROS-string//** references a quadranym's name or dimension, summarizing the order of substitutions in a template:

<WRAP box>''**We got a q1o_NN by q1r_VBN the q1n_NN.\\ <wrap indent>NEROS-string = ORN</wrap>**''</WRAP>
