Taxonomy Proposal
For my taxonomy I would like to compose my marks by the density of the tools being used to make the mark. Cotton for example might be a possibility for the first mark, because of its lightness. Rocks would be last being the heaviest of tools being used. I would then like to compose a subclass using connotation. The subclass could be categorized from the clarity of the marks wether it be a soft subtle mark or a harsh sharp marks. My intention are to have a denotative primary structure for organization, and use a connotative approach for subclass. I'm going to play with this idea and might flip the two to see were the taxonomy will have better transition.

Your proposal is innovative and makes sense. You have not listed the connotations, however. Rather, your "subclass" is another viable set of denotative characteristics. Keep this, but work on incorporating the connotations as well (perhaps as annotations here and there throughout the book).
ReplyDeleteAlso, you need to propose some visual sketches of what the layout will look like.
