Game theory is a branch of, originally, applied mathematics, used mostly in economics and political science, a little bit in biology, that gives us a mathematical taxonomy of social life, and it predicts what people are likely to do and believe others will do in cases where everyone's actions affect everyone else.

Unlike the heart or kidney, which have a small, defined set of cell types, we still do not have a taxonomy of neurons, and neuroscientists still argue whether specific types of neurons are unique to humans. But there is no disputing that neurons are only about 10 percent of the cells in the human brain.

With clear definitions and a taxonomy that illustrates their relationships, the Inventure Cycle defines the pathway from inspiration to implementation. This framework captures the skills, attitudes, and actions that are necessary to foster innovation and to bring breakthrough ideas to the world.

Let's find a new way to think about the entire taxonomy of solar system objects, and not clutch to this concept of 'planet,' which, of course, only ever meant, 'Do you move against the background stars, regardless of what you're made of?

The need to create a new taxonomy that isn't just applying to our own solar system will become so evident and apparent that something will come out of it. I'm sure of it, even if it's not tomorrow.

Eventually you won't think of 'the Internet business.' You'll think of it more like news, weather, sports, but even that taxonomy isn't clear.

I have worked really hard to defy categorization, to break down a taxonomy whenever it comes my way.

English Scientist

Used beyond biology; for concepts, ideas or objects grouped by shared traits.

Widespread Usage

Taxonomy often implies a hierarchy from broad to specific categories.

Hierarchy Included

Understand taxonomies can evolve as new characteristics or relationships are discovered.

Not Always Fixed

This usage focuses on the scientific classification of living things.

Biological Focus

New discoveries in biology can change organism taxonomy.

Constant Evolution

Accuracy is key; misclassifying an organism can lead to confusion.

Precision Required

Refers to classifying and arranging digital information for better access.

Data Organization

Aids in quickly finding specific information in a large digital space.

Facilitates Searches

Good taxonomy improves user experience by making content user-friendly.
