The lexicon gathers short orienting entries: terms, schools, authors, and recurring concepts that appear throughout the notebook. It is meant to function less as a dictionary than as a small apparatus of clarification.
Entries To Be Expanded
- Hypomnemata: notebooks of recollection, excerpting, and ordered return.
- Commonplace book: a disciplined archive of extracts and reflections arranged for reuse.
- Natural philosophy: the older name for the study of nature before the later division into sciences.
- Commentary: a form of study that advances by careful return to prior texts.
- Scholium: a marginal or supplementary remark appended to a larger argument.
Function
As the notebook grows, this page will branch into shorter entries so that technical notes can rely on a stable vocabulary instead of repeatedly redefining first terms.
