The 12 Axes of the Science Spectrum

An ultra-fine-grained model adding dimensions of scale and temporality. Building on the 8 Axes, we add: Axis 9: Micro-Macro (studying smallest units vs. largest systems). Axis 10: Synchronic-Diachronic (snapshot in time vs. change over time). Axis 11: Deterministic-Probabilistic (exact prediction vs. statistical patterns). Axis 12: Mechanistic-Phenomenological (how it works vs. what it's like). These twelve axes generate 4096 potential science-types, approaching the actual complexity of scientific practice. Quantum mechanics is micro, deterministic in form (if not interpretation), mechanistic. Evolutionary biology is macro, diachronic, probabilistic, phenomenological in part. Consciousness studies spans nearly every axis simultaneously. The 12 Axes reveal that scientific pluralism isn't optional—it's necessitated by the multidimensionality of reality itself.

The 12 Axes of the Science Spectrum "Your theory of everything fails because it only occupies one point in 12-axis space. The 12 Axes show that reality requires different methods at different scales, different times, different levels. One science to rule them all is a fantasy. The universe is 12-dimensional; your methods need to be too."

The 12 Axes of the Technology Spectrum

An ultra-fine-grained model adding dimensions of scale and relationship to human autonomy. Building on the 8 Axes, we add: Axis 9: Local-Global (operates in one place vs. everywhere). Axis 10: Synchronous-Asynchronous (real-time interaction vs. delayed). Axis 11: Voluntary-Enforcing (used by choice vs. imposed by systems). Axis 12: Empowering-Controlling (increases user agency vs. reduces it). These twelve axes generate 4096 technology-types. A hammer is local, synchronous, voluntary, empowering. A credit score is global, asynchronous, enforcing, controlling. Social credit systems are designed for the enforcing-controlling quadrant. The 12 Axes reveal that technologies aren't just tools—they're relationships, and those relationships have politics built into their very structure.

The 12 Axes of the Technology Spectrum "You think the problem with facial recognition is just privacy. The 12 Axes show it's deeper: it's soft, industrial (mostly), replacing (of anonymity), opaque, centralized, exploitative, ephemeral (data expires? lol no), deskilling (of observation), global, asynchronous, enforcing, controlling. Twelve axes, twelve problems. Privacy is just the one we talk about."

The 12 Axes of the Progress Spectrum

An ultra-fine-grained model adding dimensions of scale and relationship to human flourishing. Building on the 8 Axes, we add: Axis 9: Shallow-Deep (surface-level change vs. fundamental transformation). Axis 10: Compatible-Incompatible (progress that aligns with human nature vs. progress that requires changing it). Axis 11: Measurable-Unmeasurable (quantifiable gains vs. qualitative improvements). Axis 12: Sustainable-Untenable (can continue vs. contains seeds of its own reversal). These twelve axes generate 4096 progress-types. Democracy is moral, collective, cyclical, relative, intended, reversible, slow, diffuse, deep, compatible (arguably), unmeasurable (in some aspects), sustainable (if maintained). Social media "progress" is material, individual, fast, concentrated, shallow, possibly incompatible with human psychology, measurable (engagement), and increasingly looking untenable.

The 12 Axes of the Progress Spectrum "You want to measure progress? The 12 Axes give you homework. Is it deep or shallow? Compatible with human nature or fighting it? Sustainable or about to collapse? Measurable or beyond numbers? Most of what we call progress fails on at least half these axes. That's not cynicism—that's just paying attention."

The 12 Axes of the Epistemology Spectrum

An ultra-fine-grained model adding dimensions of access and structure. Building on the 8 Axes, we add: Axis 9: Direct-Indirect (knowledge through direct acquaintance vs. knowledge through description/inference). Axis 10: Explicit-Tacit (knowledge you can state vs. knowledge you can't articulate). Axis 11: Propositional-Procedural (knowing that vs. knowing how). Axis 12: Personal-Impersonal (knowledge that requires personal experience vs. knowledge available to anyone). These twelve axes generate 4096 epistemological positions. Knowing a person involves direct, tacit (partly), procedural (how to be with them), personal knowledge. Knowing physics involves indirect, explicit, propositional, impersonal knowledge. The 12 Axes reveal that epistemology must account for the full range of human knowing—not just the kind that fits in journal articles.

The 12 Axes of the Epistemology Spectrum "You think all knowledge can be written down. The 12 Axes show otherwise: tacit knowledge (how to ride a bike) can't be captured in propositions. Procedural knowledge (knowing how) is different from propositional (knowing that). Personal knowledge (knowing a friend) requires experience you can't transfer. Your narrow epistemology doesn't describe knowledge—it describes one kind of knowledge, and it's not even the most important kind."
