One might start looking at the outlines of existing schemes other
than those behemoths we've been talking about.
There's a not too dusty one called "Broad System of Ordering"
or BSO:
    http://www.ucl.ac.uk/fatks/bso/outline.htm
which also claims to be a "systematic overview of knowledge".
It uses digits too.
There's quite some theory going with it...
