With my posting of many directories of Tangler Groups (nicknamed "Knots")  I confirmed my belief that a single level of classification is not sufficient to satisfy all the possible uses I see for directories in a vision I see for the use of Tangler.

Consequently, I followed up with a higher level directory,  in fact a set of higher level directories of directories (Knots) which are nicknamed "Gordians" [for sake of this argument I'll call this grouping a meta-knot.}

This weekend I've finally gotten around to adding second set of directories of directories (another meta-knot) that clumps (or categorizes) the Knots in a quite different manner (with of course some, but not too much overlap with the categorization scheme used in the first) that I've nicknamed Pieranski.  This Pieranski meta-knot could be used for quite different purposes than the Gordian meta-knot.

I hope to provide, in the next little while, an analysis of possible uses of directories/categorizations and other tools as needed complements -- but poor substitutes --  for directories built from the ground up (automatically) on the basis of user tagging.  [unfortunately it will take a while as I try to fit the analysis and work into 'free time'].

A first analysis consists of a simple map of Gordians to Peranskis as shown in this chart:

I kinda don't get it...

What's a Pieranski?

Oops.... I went to Bricoleur's Tangle and found an answer waiting for me there.... serendipity!

Right! for those who want the long form answer here's the link: A Gordian by any other name.

the short form answer:

Piotr Pieraski (a Polish Physicist) and Andrezej Stasiak (a Swiss biologist) may have been the first to have untangled an ancient mysteries by using a computer simulation to recreate what might have been the Gordian Knot.

Since a meta-directory of groups of Tangler groups already existed by the nickname "Gordian" a small step to name a second meta-directory of the same class after the modern day knot of Pieranski seems almost reasonable.

To have a look at all the directories I have created in this experiment, perhaps the best starting place is "A Tangled Weave  - Alexander's Approach"

which contains links to these meta-directories:

• Gordians
• Pieranskis

and these directories:

• Knots
• Ranks
• Gnomes
