Columns to add—alternate terms | reordering markers if needed | reordering numbers. IssuesWhat and how to navigate. Self-join. How to reorganize. What to do nextBefore getting into details, ..\canonical\language for metaphysics.docm (html) probably ought to be improved—getting the concepts canonical, perhaps limiting the number of levels (now at seven), differentiating, completing, and being careful about definitions, assertions, comments, and explanations. Eliminate duplication of terms—where a concept is repeated either (i) eliminate the repetition or, if the repetition is needed, (ii) rename the repetition so that the new name and the old do not have significant alpha-strings in common. Document language for metaphysics - concepts only - through meaning.docm has concepts, number, level, and parent, which is automated (the automation is also in ..\canonical\language for metaphysics.docm—html). This needs to be extended to incorporate ground, definition, hyperlink, and comment. Should these be added before or after creation of word table / excel sheet / access database table? It probably is not necessary to have parent of parent and so on because a tree diagram can probably be derived by looking at the nearest immediate parent above a given concept.
