CURRENT PHYSICS PARADIGM
- PARADIGM Interrelated concepts, thought patterns, theories, research
methods, postulates, etc, that together are a field of study.
- CURRENT PHYSICS PARADIGM The models and favoured methods of research, interpretation, and
verification that are currently believed to provide the most likely
description of the universe's properties and interactions.
COREPHYSICS- CORE The central and/or essential and/or indispensable part of an object, group, concept, knowledgebase, skillset, etc.
- PHYSICS CORE The primary physics factbase that underpins all secondary physics research.
- TAXONOMY
A scheme of classification that clarifies interactions
and relationships. Taxonomies are static or dynamic. Dynamic taxonomies
are evolutionary or devolutionary.
- COREPHYSICS
A dynamic evolutionary taxonomy of the primary physics factbase.

SUPERCEDED MATTER
- TAXONOMY: A scheme of, usually hierarchical, classification that clarifies the relationships between things.
- PHYSICS: The branch of science concerned with the properties and interactions of space, time, matter, and energy.
- CORE: The central and/or essential part of a object, group, concept, knowledgebase, skillset, etc.
- COREPHYSICS TAXONOMY: A hierarchical classification of the core facts of the Current Physics Paradigm.
* * * * * - FACT: A statement or an information that is objectively true and can be verified by experiment and/or observation.
- PARADIGM:
Interrelated concepts, thought patterns, theories, research
methods, postulates, etc, that are a field of study.
- CURRENT PHYSICS PARADIGM:
The models and favoured methods of research, interpretation, and
verification that are currently believed to provide the most likely
description of the universe's properties and interactions.
* * * * * - IN THE COREPHYSICS TAXONOMY:
- the core of the physics factbase is divided into 14 taxons.
- each taxon has properties distinct from the other taxons.
- the taxons are grouped into five taxas.
- each taxa has properties distinct from the other taxas.
- the taxons are a progressing sequence of related transformations.

A
taxonomy is a classification in which "things" are formed into groups
(taxa) and types (taxons) to make their relationships clearer. Taxonomies are usually hierarchical and
sometimes evolutionary.
Consider the current Physics
knowledgebase [1] as a diagrammatic tree. The trunk of the tree is Core Physics.
The
Core
Physics Taxonomy [2]
strips the theories, hypotheses, guesses,
and bright ideas
from the Physics knowledgebase to leave just the empirically confirmed facts. Thereafter, it
defines the facts precisely and lets them find their
natural order.
As things stand, much of
the knowledgebase is ill-defined and not in the right order -
inevitably so given that physics research is "sharp end" and
thus devolutionary. Consequently the
knowledgebase is beset by
quasifacts [3] and logictraps [4]. Add in an acceptance of naxosnumbers [5] too high for comfort and the list of unsolved physics problems [6] is longer than it should be.
Properly
taxonomising the knowledgebase almost entirely eliminates the
quasifacts and logictraps. Naxosnumbers are mostly reduced to "one"
with numbers higher than one clearly apparent as targets
for research. Very few physics problems remain.
Is
the Core Physics Taxonomy
correct? Of course not. Is it complete? Of course not. It is however as
correct
and complete as it can be given the facts and facilities to hand.

[1] Current Physics Knowledgebase
The facts, models, theories, hypotheses, etc currently believed to be the most
likely description of the Universe's objects, properties, and
interactions.
[2] Core Physics Taxonomy
A hierarchical taxonomy drawn from the
factbase of the Current Physics Paradigm that classifies by evolutionary association.
[3] Quasifact
An assumption that has become the foundation for a
sequence of further assumptions and is treated as being fact in all but
name. All assumptions should be regularly challenged but when doing so
risks bringing down a house of cards there can be a reluctance to do so
with those who do challenge being marginalised and even punished (the
"emperor's new clothes syndrome").
[4] Logictrap
An information spiral from which there is no apparent
escape, caused by assumptions
being drawn with information missing or misinterpreted. Logictraps are
often mathematical (as in Zeno's Paradoxes). Logictraps are especially harmful when
they become quasifacts (the "chasing rainbows syndrome").
[5] Naxos Law
The increase in the likelihood of a new assumption
being wrong is always greater than the increase in the naxosmumber (the number of
assumptions between an assumption and the
last established fact).
[6] Unsolved physics problems The list of unresolved problems in the devolutionary Current Physics Knowledgebase is long.
In the evolutionary Core Physics, many of these problems do not arise while others resolve
themselves as their facts are put in the right order. Here is a
sample list of Taxonomy "non-problems":- The nature of energy.
- The nature of dark matter.
- The nature of dark energy.
- The matter/antimatter imbalance.
- Blackhole mechanicals.
- Photon mechanicals.
- Lightspeed mechanicals.
- Colourshift mechanicals.
- Strong force mechanicals.
- Electromagnetism mechanicals.
- Fusion/fission mechanicals.
- Electron spin half.
- Etc.
