INTRODUCTION: GRAND MAP CATEGORIES
Grand Map Content - Grand Categories of Information
|

Utilizing this new technique of aggregating information by generating information
a strong analytical tool becomes available in a quantitative
estimation of broad philosophical categories of information.
|
Here's a thought experiment:
Image you CAN discern all megadigit pages of the Grand Map and compared
the information of each and every page with what is known today.
Upon doing so we would most likely find that the amount of pages of known information
today will be extremely small compared to the amount of all that will become known
(assuming things went on swingingly).
Based upon this approach the Grand Map can be divided into two categories: Unknown and known.
Instinctively we do know that there remains a great deal to be known, but
how much more?
Setting aside for the moment that the amount of information can be infinite in
at least the abstract sense, lets discuss what happens when working with
a gargantuan but finite amount of pages (the problem of infinite information is
addressed later in this Introduction under the so-called "Triple-Walled Dilemma").
So now we have before us
map of a megadigit number of pages that represents essentially all of
the information we can put on paper.
It can be easily shown that the amount unknown is so gargantuan compared
to what is known that a couple of examples will suffice:
1) We have not yet visited every part of the Observable Universe
therefore we don't know the details of what every part of it looks like.
2) As for the future we do not know the discoveries, inventions, artistic creations and events
that will take place in the Observable Universe.
In both of the above cases all that unknown information that can be described on paper
will be contained within the Grand Map.
Therefore we can easily estimate that nearly a hundred percent of the pages in the
Grand Map can be marked off as "unknown".
As for the known category relative to the unknown, its footprint would be less
than microscopic by perhaps several hundreds to several thousands of orders of magnitude.

By hundreds to thousands of orders of magnitude there are far
more pages of unknown information than known pages.
( THERE EXISTS MORE ADVENTURES THAN WE HAVE IMAGINED. )
