It seems like there are limits to generalization in 2021-1 Limits of Generalization.
-
I like things that are universal.
- Like in Physics, compared to Chemistry and Biology.
- Like finding common messages in Japanese language and literary analysis.
-
Judging whether a story will still be relevant 500 years from now seems to be an important criterion.
- More details in Things I’m Interested In.
-
I like stories that have a similar feeling across multiple fields, like cross-field application.
- Like the feeling of XX method in mathematics and the feeling of YY in sociology.
- I understand (takker)(takker)(takker).
-
To put it more clearly, generalization for me (what I think is good) is “describing more with simpler and concise expressions.”
- For example, rather than describing “there are separate classes A, B, and C,” it is more concise to describe it as “there is a continuous parameter x” (A, B, and C have different values of x).
- An example of finding continuity.
- I like this kind of generalization.
- For example, rather than describing “there are separate classes A, B, and C,” it is more concise to describe it as “there is a continuous parameter x” (A, B, and C have different values of x).
-
Are there any universal rules (patterns) for everything?
-
Patterns that exist in physics, biology, literature, computers, politics, psychology, and so on.
-
As a feeling, the image below is close.
- (This image is just a random association.)
- Like saying that mathematics, astrophysics, and biology have the same pattern (is that true?).
- It is natural for the same pattern to appear because it is a result that can be derived mathematically (takker).
-
Like “universal studies”?
-
I wonder how much they have in common if we abstract all mechanisms to the extreme.
-
Is it related to Topology and Set Theory? (I can’t say anything random because I don’t understand both well.)

- It seems to be a philosophical discussion in geometry.
- Example of doing philosophy in geometry: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/エチカ_(スピノザ)
-
The concept of yin and yang may also be related to this.
-
I also like the universality of normal distribution.
- It appears in Computer Science, Biology, and things related to Sociology.
-
It might be close to Cybernetics (2021-1).
- Explained by feedback.
- However, I also felt the Limits of Generalization.
-
My personal hypothesis about this is that there are universal elements at the level of “causal relationships (X->Y)” or “inclusion relationships (X⊂Y),” and universal patterns are combinations of such elements.
-
(Just a hunch)
-
-
Write down specific examples that come to mind.
- Commonalities between software Design Patterns and organizational design.
- Fractal structures.
-
The so-called analogy.
-
It would be fun to write an essay on Theory of Knowledge with this.
- Similarities between Areas of Knowledge.
- But it seems difficult to condense it into a Knowledge Question (KQ).
-
It is important to focus not only on commonalities but also on differences.
- While it is important to find commonalities between seemingly different things,
- It is also important to clearly identify the differences between things that seem the same.
- KJ problem-solving model for W-type problems and U theory
- I’ll share something I wrote a while ago (takker).
