One vitally basic way of comprehending any Major-Overarching-Matter is to “mind-map” it and its ‘environments’.
Word-Mapping is also essential, such as in Contents-Lists.
Trying this with the “Domains of Existence”,
we could find ourselves ‘wandering-in’ as well as and “creating”
a “Domainology”
as follows:-
The Overarching Single Domain takes the sequential and order-level numeration
Overall Domain O.0 The Components of Existence
we could now use [borrow] Roget’s Thesaurus domains
A Abstract
M Matter
I Intellect
V Volition
S Sentient (and Moral) Powers
———–
However, I see a real-need for a similarly ‘simple’ and possibly ‘brief’ ‘map’ as follows:-
Domain 1,n “A Void and ‘God’
Domain 2.n “Space”
[Here, already, however,we ‘hit’ –
the erroneous identification of Space as being made up of “Dimensions” (quantities),
when in fact Space is made up of three “Directions” – Horizontality, Verticality, and Longitudinality (Laban’s to-and-fro “wheel” plane).
and ‘Space’ actually needs to ‘borrow’ its “dimensionalities” from a separate domain of Quantities
Domain 3.n “Quantities”
Domain 4.n “Time”
Domain 5.n “Physical-Matter” [‘Non-Bio’]
Domain 6.n “Bio-Lifeforms”
Domain 7 … 8 … 9 … “Colours”; “Temperature” ;
? “Humankind” [and further sub-domains of “Sensing”, “Thinking” “Intuiting” “Moving” …]

FINDING and NOTING the GOOD
from within
Conflicts
by the thinking-master Dr Edward de Bono: [1991 – this edition 2018]
(jm) The book starts ‘confusingly’ [if not ‘confusedly’] with much ‘;anecdotal explorings’ –
I’d even see how some would find it “verbiaged”-
a lot of tertiary and ‘minority-life-expereiential’ words and conceptions, perhaps.
That, however, is not our intention to find, nor to follow, is it ?
Like the advice-to-student finding teachers ‘difficult’ and thus ‘spoiling’ the subject-matter.
“Make a ‘white-light’ surround the things you need,
and have the dark-shadow simply ‘obscure” every-thing you don’t need –
including especially any unbearability or ‘hackles-raisings’ coming from the teacher.
——————
Quite normally, we’d have read the ‘blurb-by-others’- ‘reviews’ – on the back cover –
“Think, don’t fight”.
(“)We currently use an out-of-date thinking system to navigate our way through modern society,
especially when it comes to conflicts and disagreements.
Conflicts ‘argues’ that, instead of our age-old system of “debate”, we should use lateral-thinking to navigate a ‘feud’..
If two parties think their argument is best, we should be introducing a third party role.
By highlighting how the present system holds us back,
and by offering practical alternatives,
author de Bono paves the way for
a fundamental shift-for-the-better in conflict resolution.(“).
Which to me is also a lot of “blurb” –
and we need to skim through the book itself.
