What’s This About?
About spaces of knowledge. This term is understood here in a sense that lets almost every representation of knowledge fall under it. Thus knowledge always forms kind of a space, it can always be regarded and described as such.
So, what is to say of these knowledge spaces in general? Are there any recurring patterns, overall structures, binding rules, or even fundamental laws, actually?
That is our starting point. And the reason why our investigations should make sense.
Naturally, everything that may be expounded here cannot really be new. It must have been there all the time. And, for sure, many have long noticed this or that here and there. But perhaps not yet quite as a whole. That such a kind of view is very well needed – and realizable too – remains to be seen.
“Thus knowledge”… I don’t see how a knowledge space follows from the fact that “every representation of knowledge” is considered.

@ hodie
This is not meant to be an inference drawn from a certain fact, but rather from sort of a rough definition. Taking that definition, it follows “that knowledge always forms …”. (Perhaps not the most fortunate choice of words… The english text is still somewhat experimental. So all the more your comments are needed, helping to make things clearer)
