A United Framework for both Formal, Natural and Social Science

TL;DR

This paper introduces a three-dimensional knowledge map based on time, space, and numericity to unify formal, natural, and social sciences, aiding interdisciplinary understanding and management of scientific research.

Contribution

It proposes a normative, intuitive, and readable knowledge mapping framework that integrates diverse scientific disciplines through labeling, digitization, and scientific methodologies.

Findings

The map effectively visualizes interdisciplinary scientific problems.

It emphasizes the importance of mathematics in formal science.

Provides a preliminary framework for scientific worldview and discipline cooperation.

Abstract

With the expansion of scientific research, the number of scientific research is increasing. A new urgent problem is raised that how to keep these researches in a proper way. Therefore, knowledge mapping methods come into being, providing a lot of management and application functions. Therefore, knowledge mapping methods come into being, providing a lot of management and application functions. To answer this question, a three-dimensional knowledge map is proposed in this paper, with time, space and number based on category and numericity. It is able to conclude most of scientific problems related to numericity interdisciplinary. Compared with the traditional way, this map is normative, and puts forward the general production criteria of labeling and digitization. It is also intuitive and readable, on which nature, society and formal science are expressed in the same view. The scientific methodologies are summarized, so that the methods with similar logic between different disciplines can be used for reference in development. Compared with the traditional way, this map is normative, and puts forward the general production criteria of labeling and digitization. It is also intuitive and readable, on which nature, society and formal science are expressed in the same view. The scientific methodologies are summarized, so that the methods with similar logic between different disciplines can be used for reference in development. Mathematics also show its importance on the map as formal Science, indicating that it is the key to the development of science. This is not only a preliminary model of a comprehensive scientific worldview, but also a preliminary framework for the connection and cooperation of various disciplines in the future.
