Knowledge in SPaDE

SPaDE purports to provide a shared pansophic repository of declarative knowledge, and support for a broad conception of deductive intelligence on that base.

There is a simple philosophical anaysis of knowledge which underpins the architecture of SPaDE, and is part of SPaDE’s Synthetic Philosophy.

Kinds of Knowledge

SPaDE recognises several kinds of knowledge, each with distinct characteristics and roles within the system:

1. Declarative Knowledge: Knowledge about facts and things, which can be explicitly stated and represented.
2. Procedural Knowledge: Knowledge about how to perform tasks and actions, often encoded as rules or algorithms.
3. Metaknowledge: Knowledge about knowledge itself, including its structure, sources, and reliability.
