George's comment on the rationale for the suggested selection of initial taxonomy terms
By “initial” I mean that any set of high-level taxonomy terms of a co-creative and learning community will continually change and evolve. I don’t claim any “objective” basis for my choice of the top 12 terms. In fact, it was not even a choice, more like listening to this question:
What high-level terms can serve as containers of frequently used expressions in the conversation of our communities?
Sticking to a relatively small number of top terms makes them more memorable, and easier to pick from than dozens of items in a list of terms, which pops up when we create/edit a node.
That intentional constraint on the number of top terms makes them also more precious, in terms of sitting in a spot of our ecosystem that will always be coveted by a number of newly emergent terms, which are gaining importance and momentum in the discourse of the Nexus communities. We need to develop and agree on an "emergent taxonomy" process for the collaborative arbitration of what to keep in the top 12.
