Chunking

Could be redirected to the problems of chunking upper category - umbrella terms

One of the key (comprehensive) mental activities of a person, a common denominator (name) for the different approaches used in delienating and giving a name to something in the focus against something in the background, the context.

It is the simplest technique used to create knowledge and retrieving information from reality, from the continuous stream of experience and/or thoughts. Also, the simplest technology used in sharing experience and ideas, to help identify substance and essence.

Chunking relevant to writing, speech, understanding will cover nearly all facets of mental/psychological operations. The resulting chunks for instance are processed by naming, another umbrella term.

The import of using such a common term in a comprehensive fashion is to demonstrate the need to find terms that are common to different disciplines, branches of knowledge and subject matters. By usig such umbrella terms you can hope for identifying analoguous phenonena, structures and principles that may become the agents of cros-fertilisation in science.

Also, it will make easier for scientists to unitemerge and sometimes "concoct" independently developing specialisations, similar to the unification of biology and chemistry and a hundred other examples. Lateral literacy is a requirement for people applying for grants or research positions, but also a practical need at a lower level for those who need to undergo a constant retraining in their productive life.

For example in doing research into new agents in pharmacology, computer science and technology are systematically exploited to generate and test systematically all combinations of molecules with better efficiency than doing it in separate endevours of old time manufacture.

The hottest issue is to identify those basic umbrella terms that can ensure easy transversing and understanding scientific prose by reducing the time and mental effort needed in grasping complex nomenclatures as well as treaties now separately handled in taxoboxes. Which also means that in the age of mass production, texts will likely attract more efficient means of mass production of textual and other information than recruiting and coordinating volunters.
