Navigate your library of maps with a classification system made specifically for PKM. 

> [!Blocks]- The LYT Classification System
> The **LYT Classification System** is lightly modified from the Cutter, Dewey, and Universal Decimal classification systems used in libraries around the world. It will provide you a time-tested foundation as you structure the interests of your digital library.

> [!NOTE]+ ## 000 - Knowledge Management
> The [[Meta PKM]] shows the best practices of knowledge management. I use the [[Ideaverse Map]] to show the power of linked thinking and to empower others to develop their thinking. The [[Mapping MOCs]] is my personal note to wrap my head around the wondrous beauty that MOCs offer. Others include:
> 
> - [[Relate]] | [[Logs (Example)]] |  [[I want to...]]
> - [[Cartographer's Corner 🗺]] | [[Commonplace Book]] |  [[Knowledge and memory MOC]]

> [!Milestone]+ ## 100 - Personal Management
> The [[Thinking Map]] can galvanize my attention; the [[Concepts Map]] can flavor it; and the [[Habits Map]] speaks about how to direct it. Hidden within in the [[Cabin]]. Go to my [[Life Map]] to brush up on [[My Virtues (starter)|My Virtues]] and more.

## 200 - Philosophy, Psychology ; Spirituality, Religion
Is there no limit to this section? I use [[Philosophy MOC (kit)]] as the big note and then point to things like: [[Stoicism MOC]], [[Confucianism MOC]], [[Religion MOC]], [[Taoism MOC]], and whatever else comes up.

[[Psychology MOC (kit)]] is similar but different enough to have its own space.

## 300 - Social Sciences 👥
*The study of human society and of individual relationships in and to society.*
While this a very important section, I have found it's a bit more intimate, as strange as that sounds, so I'm hesitant to share too much here. The best place to start is the [[People Map]]. along with.

## 400 - Communications, Language, & Linguistics
A fun section of the library, the 400s contains the underrated and oft-maligned subject of [[Rhetoric MOC]]. And one cannot talk long about rhetoric without talking about [[Language MOC]], [[Words MOC]], and especially [[Figures MOC]]. Not too far behind is the [[Leadership MOC]].

## 500 - Natural Sciences
A sharp break from the previous section, the 500s explore the natural world and universe in glorious notes like [[Cosmology MOC]] and [[Math MOC]]. 

See also: Chemistry | Geology | Plants | Animals | [[Systems MOC (kit)]]

## 600 - Applied Sciences
A natural progression from the previous section, this is where we take the the fundamentals of nature and *apply* them. My undergrad was in [[Engineering MOC]], which relates to my interest in [[Building Homes MOC]]. Later on, I developed the [[Editing Manual MOC]].

See also: Agriculture | Technology | Medical | [[AI MOC]] | Programming | [[Collective Intelligence MOC]] | [[Genetics MOC]] | 

## 700 - Art & Recreation
Ah the leisures of life. Remember leisure? Few really do. This section could easily balloon. 

- Art MOC | [[Design MOC]] | Architecture | Painting | 
- Film & TV | [[Movies MOC]] 
- Sports | [[Football MOC]] 
- Music | [[Jazz MOC]] | [[Vocals MOC]] 
- [[Cooking MOC]] | Leisure 

## 800 - Literature
If folks barely remember leisure, they likely completely forgot about classical literature. A great shame, neomania...we blind ourselves to some of humanity's greatest hits. Use [[Literature MOC]] as a launchpad.

## 900 - History & Biography & Geography
I've noticed I'm naturally building up the [[Ancient Greece MOC]], but I haven't cared to build out the [[History MOC]] just yet. The [[Places MOC]] is a peculiarly powerful note that has big things in store for it.

The [[Art & Science Storytelling MOC]] look at some great storytellers of history.

Please don't go crazy numbering things. We are just using a pre-made map so we can easily add dots of new interests.
