• Imagine a digital system that since 1970 had been cataloguing and classifying statements of human wisdom in terms of their historical commonality and connectivity. Imagine that:
• In 1993 this system began incorporating textual information stored and interconnected on the world’s public and academic internets.
• In 1995 this system began  augmenting its database using semantic, heuristic, generative and Bayesian analysis of the responses to scientific/philosophical/theological papers and forum transcripts.
• In 1997  this system underwent an evolutionary increase in processing power and semantic, syntactic and structural simplification of the WOA corpus.
• Finally, in 2000 this wisdom-map of humanity was reduced (along emergent principles of semantic parsimony and clarity) into 8 words of TLA.
