Composition Science Ontology v1

Purpose

Canonical vocabulary for the Composition Science project.

Root Genome Nodes

GN-000 Human Systems

GN-100 Perception
GN-200 Cognition
GN-300 Action
GN-400 Emotion

GN-500 Composition

GN-510 Spatial Organization
GN-520 Hierarchy
GN-530 Visual Encoding
GN-540 Structure
GN-550 Navigation
GN-560 Interaction

Example Node

GN-510 Spatial Organization

Definition: How spatial relationships communicate organization.

Children: - GN-511 Proximity - GN-512 Separation - GN-513 Density - GN-514 Alignment - GN-515 Enclosure - GN-516 Connectedness

Measured Variables: - center-to-center distance - edge-to-edge distance - spacing ratio - eccentricity

Related Laws: - LAW-001 - LAW-013

Relationship Graph

Perception → Attention → Grouping → Hierarchy → Navigation → Decision Making

ID Standards

GN = Genome Node
LAW = Candidate Law
EVD = Evidence
EXP = Experiment
OBS = Observation
MET = Metric
CASE = Case Study
GOV = Governance
ONT = Ontology
