The Art of Formal Articulation is that body of knowledege, both factual and methodological, which informs the design of domain specific frames; frames which are themselves comprised of domain specific sign systems and their accompaning bodies of system manipulation knowledge.

A rough essay in which I detail some thoughts on how the memory's natural synthetic processes (which constantly fill in the details of our rough remembrances) may be exploited to provide rough and ready synthesis in the initial stages of problem solving. This exposition is more a sketch of a general idea than anything else, and should be taken very, very lightly.

A great deal of work has been done in Linguistics, Semiotics, Semantics, Computer Science, and Mathematics towards developing methods for analyzing the articulations of formal languages, describing their semantic fields, and the relationships between them, and producing translators and interpreters by which these languages may be given impetus to affect the world. By contrast, very little work has been done to provide teachable techniques for the design and development of the semantic fields and articulations of formal languages. This work attempts to address some of the issues in this space. Trading on the incredible importance of formal languages in a technical society, any addition to the field of language design would have an immense value.

Structural semantics holds that the entire structure of a language is a collection of oppositions - A is A in as much as it is not B, C, or any other letter of the alphabet, and similar relationships can be described for many aspects of language. This document seeks to concisely describe many of the different oppositions which make up language.

This article details my results.
