The Power of Category and Networking

In Immanuel Kant philosophy, a category is a pure concept of the understanding. The word category comes from the Greek. It’s mean "that which can be said, predicated, or publicly declared and asserted, about something." A category is an attribute, property, quality, or characteristic that can be predicated of a thing. "…I remark concerning the categories…that their logical employment consists in their use as predicates of objects." Kant called them "ontological predicates."

According to Immanuel Kant, "Our ability to judge is equivalent to our ability to think." A judgment is the thought that a thing is known to have a certain quality or attribute. For example, the sentence "The rose is red" is a judgment. Kant created a table of the forms of such judgments as they relate to all objects in general.

• Quantity

o Universal

o Particular

o Singular

• Quality

o Affirmative

o Negative

o Infinite

• Relation

o Categorical

o Hypothetical

o Disjunctive

• Modality

o Problematical

o Assertoric

o Apodictic

This table of judgments was used by Kant as a model for the table of categories. Taken together, these twelve fold tables constitute the formal structure for Kant's architectonic conception of his philosophical system.

• The table of categories

ü Quantity

o Unity

o Plurality

o Totality

ü Quality

o Reality

o Negation

o Limitation

ü Relation

o Inherence and Subsistence (substance and accident)

o Causality and Dependence (cause and effect)

o Community (reciprocity)

There are two elementary principal of category. First is identical, for example: A=A. Second, contradictive principal and the example B is not A. We can see many references in the power of category and networking, in noumena or phenomena. In noumena, there are two criteria category, that is category (categorization) and networking. Where the categorization, we must know the definition, the function, the purpose, and the component of the reference. And in phenomena, there are many step to be a real dream. We must know the category of highlighting ideas in our work, such as: the title, the abstraction, the introduction, the power of category, the power of networking, the relationship, the conclusion, and the reference.

The power of the network can create a bigger, national, global, or local presence than you could create on your own. This categorization has been important to us and helped us develop a much better methodology on how best to utilize our network. Having said that, we also realize that if our never ask, we will never know and we just never know who might know whom, for it is a small world. Network can be divided into three categories or four if we include friends.

There are four predefined relationship categories:

§ Hierarchical: Relationship types that are used to connect objects that have a hierarchical relationship

§ Peer to peer: Relationship types that are used to connect object that have a peer relationship.

§ Support: Relationship types that connect supporting objects to another object (for example, you can connect a News object to a Spreadsheet object).

§ Precedence: Relationship types that connect precedence objects to data resources (for example, you can connect a Precedence object to a File object). Objects that are connected with this category of relationship are displayed in the Information Catalog Center Show Lineage Tree window.

So, with networking we can build good relationship with each other.
