The Code of KnowledgeTM is made up of two dimensions (Click for a PDF of this page)
The horizontal dimension is used to map behavior.
It is made up of the answers to the fundamental questions WHY and HOW - these questions are opposites of each other.

|
|
The vertical dimension is used to classify actions of the same type into a hierarchy.
It is made up of the answers to the question WHAT and its opposite WHAT IS. Behavior is inherited down this hierarchy.
|
The two dimensions form a matrix and each cell of the matrix sets a context.
It is a combination of these matrices that sets the specific coordinates used to interface with the world of information and applications.
The next 5 points summarize further aspects of the structure. But if you'd just like to skip to the last point -

At the center is a Knowde® - a human action or an action of nature
The basic building block is an action - anything we do in our lives or at work OR any action in a naturally occurring process.
Everything in life is made up of process - the tangible things we see around us are simply the result of process actions and mapping our world this way improves understanding.
It is to these actions that
WHY,
HOW,
WHAT and
WHAT IS are connected.
Knowledge can be quickly understood and replicated with high fidelity
The secret of knowledge sharing is the speed and quality of replication - for us as in naturally occurring processes.
The code of knowledge allows us to codify knowledge so that our best knowledge can be quickly and accurately replicated.
Knowledge Genes®
Knowdes
® are connected using the
WHY-
HOW and
WHAT-
WHAT IS dimensions to create Knowledge Genes
® - components of knowledge on specific subjects
Logic connectives & calculations
Detailed logic between Knowdes is defined using the logic connectives AND / OR / THEN
And anytime you want to use arithmetic connectives, add the first HOW and then click 'Arithmetic' in the toolbar. Connectors between the HOWs will now toggle between +, -, x and /.
Implementation questions
WHO, WHEN, WHERE
The 'implementation questions' (WHO, WHEN, WHERE) are simply special cases of the ACTION - they are not fundamental questions in the Code of Knowledge.
SUBJECT
The responsibility for executing an ACTION is defined by including a SUBJECT - a function (e.g. Marketing) or a system name - in the action description.
Why use The Code of KnowledgeTM
Life is all about understanding things and controlling them - In personal life, in business and as a global community.
People
UNDERSTAND by creating and improving mind maps (conscious or unconscious). In Knowledge Genes
®, this mind map is organized around the fundamental code of knowledge. Only when you know
WHAT,
HOW and
WHY will you really understand. It will help you eliminate verbosity, vagueness and ambiguity. And when you better understand things, you can better
CONTROL them...
The clear thinking approach of Knowledge Genes
® will help you better
COMMUNICATE. It focuses on the fundamental questions that need to be answered -
WHAT? HOW? WHY? In today's busy world, we just do not have time to waste on longwinded communication.
When we LEARN, our brains internalise how to achieve a purpose. Learning techniques that do not focus on purpose are therefore ineffective. Knowledge Genes® by contrast is all about purpose-driven learning. Building your own Knowledge Genes® mind map on any subject will force you to learn efficiently and thoroughly. And you can use other people's Knowledge Genes® so that you learn by doing.
If you (or your team) have clarity of purpose - WHAT you are trying to achieve and WHY - then you will EXECUTE better. Any Knowledge Gene® can be used as a template for day-to-day execution of knowledge-intensive applications. And for more complex enterprise applications, individual components can be written to enact any part of the knowledge structure, orchestrated by Knowledge Genes®.
Information from the Web or corporate web is automatically indexed into each Knowledge Gene® so that your information map (schema) is automatically 100% aligned with your mind map, giving you faster and more effective information access.
