It is based on
(a) definition of a set – a group or list of objects with specific characteristics i.e. they are connected.
(b) languages natural mathematical symbolic properties e.g. the word finger and the same characteristics as the subject itself.
As a result of these matters one can say any experience or system can be represented by a set of knowledge. One can gather the relevant knowledge using 15 sets of classes of knowledge or categories as shown below. You thus can apply connection thinking to gather all knowledge e.g. for a class of human epileptic or connect with a rule or connect with the characteristics of a person e.g. injured illness, die v machine breakdown. One can also trace a member of reality e.g. an invoice or human through the system which can be represented by a set of knowledge and establish the truth by confirming the truth by examining the document or questioning another officer. This is what auditors do when auditing a system when they see that all relevant or connected controls are in place.
Adopting this approach has the advantage of providing a framework for accessing knowledge plus being transparent as these mathematical models can be shared internationally and nationally to ensure they are comprehensive e.g. what are the connected mistakes for say virus management rather than individual countries learning by making mistakes. If need be you may refine the classification to include only important mistakes. Also where an experience can be broken down e.g. re virus acquiring goods this can aid identification of knowledge e.g. mistakes. The sharing of knowledge by countries could aid international relationship.
Examples of countries dealing with virus in the past include those dealing with SARS and MERS who we can learn lessons from.

1 |
Reality Who? and What? |
Every member of reality is unique and they can be gather in appropriate or connected subsets which include Human, animate objects, animals, vegetation, weather, fire, natural disasters, atmosphere, fungi etc. Depending on what system you are describing you can gather humans into different class of subsets for different treatment e.g. epileptics, mentally handicapped.

Rules |
These include tradition, principles of a person concern, regulations, code e.g. country, house rules, guidance, religious, terms and conditions of firms etc. for a personal class of experience rules include instructions given as a youngster and principles of the person involved Classes of knowledge associated or connected with rules include one may not seek them or otherwise determine what rules apply and obey them or not. There may be no rules when there should be and rules are introduced or not. Alternatively the rules are inadequate. |

Variable consequences Why? |
Life is a series or set of decisions that you can where possible consider their consequences. This can have a two way effect, either the effect of decisions by the person on the outside world and themselves or the effect of the outside world’s action on the person. The effect can vary from one person to another, hence the term ‘variable’. It also includes the connected of the feelings of the individual or a witness of the activity and public opinion on the subject. The classes’ variable consequences should be identified and reviewed for any system. For example in supermarket system the contact between customer and cashier and the effects of the shopping experience with the customers senses e.g. smells and sounds. |

Action How? |
Action |
Me creating and presenting article[press release]. Or person reading my article[press release]. |
||
Secondary |
||
7 |
Objective |
Setting an objective helps to define the characteristics of the set of knowledge which represent the experience or system. |
To get my ideas publicised and accepted nationally and internationally |
||
8 |
Responsibility |
Every action and object should have a responsible person allocated to it i.e. connected e.g. from the decision to plant a tree through maintenance to death. |
Personal responsibility to get my work accepted by the outside world. Article [press release]reviewer responsibility |

9 |
Truth |
One can rely on information told by a respected person i.e. one who has told you before the truth in the field of knowledge under consider. Alternative one could adopt the auditors approach by examining the relevant documents / carry out research to confirm what they are told is the truth e.g. ask another person for confirmation. Alternative when you refer to a reference book or contact an expert in a particular field who recommends a particular place to go to you test their advice by visiting it. Generally in an objective thinking strategy you are not concern whether you are told the truth or not unless act upon it as you are not seeking to describe the world outside due to the fact the set of information on which it is based may have the characteristics of being false. |
I can assure you everything is true |

Expenditure and income. There may be a set of ways of funding a project – sponsorship, Bereavement bequests etc. |

Mistakes and precautions |
In carrying out a risk assessment one seeks relevant [connected] mistakes that apply to that system or experience. Precautions include those that deter mistakes occurring and those in place if mistakes occur. Mistakes include criminal acts, and precautions include relevant [connected] controls, which auditor seek for any system. I suggest these should be shared and updated where necessary between similar organisations nationally and internationally. |
Spelling mistakes – use spell check. For grammar read over a number of times and get someone else to read it. |
||
12 |
Best Practice |
As with mistakes and precautions best practice should be shared nationally and internationally. This should be the responsibility of someone or body e.g. auditors determine a government department spreads the word. |
Use internet for advice |
||
13 |
Probability |
e.g. likelihood of making a class of mistake, natural disaster occurring or a type of weather that effect the system. |
Unlikely to make a drastic mistake or a natural disaster occurring which effects the article [press release] production other than the virus. |

14 |
Information |
Information may be verbal or written e.g. providing information to relevant [connected] people when a disaster occurs or a transport delay |
Refer to relevant website and email of organiser. |

Quality |
This is the standard measured against other things of a similar kind, the degree of excellence |
Hopefully excellent – challenging |
Principle of the 15 classes of knowledge or categories.
The 15 classes of knowledge are based on studying patterns in language that represent experiences. They show the most important are objective, variable consequences, responsibility, reality, where the individual is represented by a unique set of knowledge, mistakes and precautions and rules.
The following subjects can be added to expand thinking: Art subjects e.g. painting, sculpture, poetry etc. e.g. play appropriate [connected] music in a supermarket or being inspired [connected] with an experience to create a piece of art e.g. produce a recumbent figure on a seat as a response to homelessness.
Technology solutions i.e. technology Y serves the same function [connected] as X i.e. Y and X form a set e.g. send a Christmas email Y instead of a Christmas card X.
Similarly the senses, sounds, touch, taste, sight and smell are used by individuals to connect with the outside world e.g. Christmas cards – add a drop of perfume to them.
Another important mathematical thinking tool is simply creating a set when reap the benefits e.g. creating a list of all climate change prevention measures to be circulated internationally together with relevant associated or connected knowledge e.g. cost of installation / maintenance / what possible mistakes etc.
