The Interconnected Tree of Knowledge
Published: 15th May 2025
If we want to understand the universe, the first step is aligning human knowledge. Everything is too narrow. We separate AI, biology, chemistry, and physics—as if they exist in isolation—but they are all deeply intertwined.
Mathematics abstracts axiomatic thought and philosophical inquiry
Physics abstracts mathematics
Chemistry abstracts physics
Biology abstracts chemistry
Neuroscience abstracts biology
Psychology abstracts neuroscience
Then we start to describe collective behaviours. Sociology is a form of collective psychology— why groups and societies act rather than individuals.
Human knowledge exists as a multi-dimensional hierarchical tree— forgetting the other nodes exist will result in fundamental gaps in knowledge.
