Taxonomy
Note: Briefly discussed near the end of the call.
A classification system. The word came up when Claude Code generated a project plan for Dave's Handwriting History Project that included "Build a Palmer Taxonomy."
Dave was electrified by the word:
Dave: "I love the word taxonomy. That's something... make sure you put that into your glossary, and make sure you encourage people to use that."
He connected it to Aristotle's structured approach to knowledge and the Library of Congress TGM.
Mentioned by: Both
Context: Claude generated it in a project plan; Dave recognized it as a key concept
