Knowledge fit just be information, but e still include how dem take abstract and blend laws plus information.
Apart from that, I dey call comprehensive and very consistent knowledge wey blend plenty information from different angles, including laws, "crystallized knowledge."
For here, I go use di physical explanation of how plane dey fly as example to show wetin "crystallized knowledge" be. After, I go explain my thoughts on how knowledge dey become pure and how we fit use am.
How Plane Dey Fly
If something get wings, e go resist di way gravity dey pull am down.
And small part of di force wey gravity dey use pull am down go turn to power to push am forward, all thanks to di wings.
As e dey move forward, e go create air flow. Di plane go come dey go up because di air speed for top of di wing and under di wing no be di same.
If di way di plane dey go up almost equal to di way gravity dey pull am, then e fit just glide for air.
Gliding no need energy. But if you just dey glide, you must eventually come down. So, to really fly, you must use energy.
If something get wing wey fit glide, e fit use outside energy to fly.
One way be to use updraft (hot air wey dey rise). As di wing dey collect di energy from di updraft, e go get direct power to go up.
Another outside energy source be headwind (wind wey dey blow against am). Di energy from headwind fit turn to lift by di wings, just like di way e turn to push-force.
You fit still fly with your own energy.
Helicopters dey turn dia energy to lift with dia spinning blades.
Airplanes dey turn dia energy to push-force with dia spinning propellers, and dat one go indirectly make dem go up.
Birds dey turn dia energy to upward force and push-force by flapping dia wings.
Wetin Wings Dey Do
As we don arrange am like dis, e clear say wings get big part to play for flying.
Since rotary wings and propellers still be like wings wey dey turn, even helicopters, wey no look like dem get wings, still dey use wings. And airplanes, dem dey use two types of wings, including propellers.
Wings get dis work dem dey do:
- Air Resistance: E dey help to reduce di power of gravity and turn updrafts (air wey dey go up) to power to go up.
- Force Direction Conversion: E dey turn di pull of gravity to power to push forward.
- Airflow Different Generation: E dey create different air speeds to make di plane go up.
So, how well something go fly depend on di area of di wing wey dey create air resistance, di way e lean compare to gravity, and di way e dey made to create different air flows.
When we arrange am like dis, we go see say di wing get everything about flying for inside one shape. And apart from dat, di wing dey responsible for everything: gliding without energy, using outside energy, and using inside energy.
Because of dis, di wing be like di real example of flying itself.
But on di other side, if we sabi all di different things about flying wey dey inside dis wing, we fit also design systems wey go separate functions and combine dem based on wetin dem need and di situation.
Based on wetin we learn from bird wings, e go be possible to think of flight systems wey easy to make and design from di side of engineering.
Airplanes fit get a flight system wey different from birds because dem divide dia functions into main wings, tail wings, and propellers. Na because dem arrange am like dis and then separate di necessary functions into different parts.
Knowledge Wey Don Pure
I don explain how plane dey fly and wetin wings be, but wetin I write here no get any special new ideas or discoveries about science rules or industrial products. Na knowledge wey everybody already sabi.
But if you look at how I combine and link these pieces of knowledge, or how I see dem for similarities and how dem resemble each other, you go see say small smartness dey inside. Maybe e get new explanations or different ways to see things, or e fresh because e dey emphasize some particular points.
In simple English, e get room for something new for di way wey we arrange existing knowledge.
However, as I really go deep into di relationships and similarities of dis knowledge, and show how flying and di structure of wings dey tightly connected, di end part get something like a main point of knowledge. E pass just gathering known knowledge or arranging wetin dem link.
From di way I fine-tune dis combination of knowledge, discover dis main points, and explain dem clearly, I believe dis write-up get something new.
I wan call dis fine-tuning of knowledge combinations and di discovery of main points "crystallization of knowledge."
If dem see anything new for dis write-up, e mean say we don successfully make new "crystallization of knowledge."
Knowledge Gem Box
People dey always talk say organizations suppose stop to dey depend on wetin only one person sabi to do work, and instead, make dem fit do di work no matter who dey there.
As dem dey do am, dem say e very important to create a knowledge base by writing down and gathering all di things wey old-time workers sabi.
"Knowledge" for here mean knowledge wey dem don write down. "Base" get di same meaning as "database." A database dey arrange data so you fit use am easily. A knowledge base still dey arrange knowledge wey dem don write down.
For here, e vital to think about how to create a knowledge base in two steps. Di first one na to bring out and gather plenty plenty knowledge.
For dis stage, e no matter if e no arrange well; di main aim na just to collect plenty. Then, after dem don collect di knowledge, dem go arrange am.
Dividing am into these steps go make di wahala of building a knowledge base turn to two problems, wey go make am easy to tackle.
I dey call di collection of knowledge wey dem gather for dis first step "knowledge lake." I give am dis name because e resemble "data lake" wey dem dey use for data warehouse technologies.
Now, dat na long talk, but make we come back to di tori of wetin new for how we arrange airplanes and wings.
When no new thing dey from di side of existing science rules or industrial product knowledge, e mean say if you break down di knowledge wey dey inside my writing, everything don already dey inside di knowledge lake.
And when small new thing dey for how dem link or resemble each other, e mean say di relationships and structures between di knowledge wey dey my writing get parts wey fit into existing links or networks inside di knowledge base, and parts where new links or networks fit form.
Apart from dat, di chance say my writing get newness for knowledge crystallization dey show say another level dey separate from di knowledge lake and knowledge base, wey I dey call di "knowledge gem box." If di crystallized knowledge from my writing never enter di knowledge gem box, then e fit be said say e get newness.
Knowledge Toolbox
Knowledge crystals, those pure knowledge wey dem don add to di knowledge gem box, no just dey interesting or sweet to di brain alone.
Just like how dem fit use mineral resources for many things, knowledge crystals, once dem discover wetin dem be and how dem fit use dem, get practical value.
For di example of how plane dey fly and wings, I talk say dis understanding fit apply to how dem dey design flight systems.
By understanding knowledge crystals well well and turning dem into something wey get practical use, dem go change from something wey you just dey admire inside a gem box to tools wey engineers fit use.
Dis one show say a layer dey wey dem dey call knowledge toolbox. And no be only mechanical engineers wey dey design industrial products sabi use di knowledge toolbox. Na because e no be mechanical engineer toolbox, but a knowledge engineer toolbox.
Conclusion
We don already get plenty plenty knowledge. Some of am no arrange, just like a knowledge lake, while some don arrange well, like a knowledge base.
And from there, knowledge don pure and even turn to tools. But, e sure say plenty plenty cases still dey where knowledge no clear, like special skills wey just dey inside person head, or where nobody don fit pure am or turn am to tool yet.
Di example of plane wey dey fly and wings really show dis one clearly.
Even with knowledge wey everybody sabi, wey don dey inside knowledge lakes or knowledge bases, plenty chances suppose dey to make am pure and fine, so we go fit create useful knowledge tools.
To discover dis kind of pure knowledge no need science observation, or extra experiments, or to gather plenty practical experience.
Dis mean say person no need to be expert, or get special skills, or get special rights. Just like with how plane dey fly and wings, by simply arranging and fine-tuning knowledge wey dem don already sabi or discover through research, dem fit find dis pure knowledge.
Dis one mean say knowledge don become for everybody. Anybody fit try to make dis knowledge pure. And wetin pass dat, artificial intelligence, wey no get body, fit use am completely.
By increasing di number of pure knowledge and tools for inside di knowledge gem box and toolbox like dis, we fit eventually reach places wey many people been think say dem no fit reach.
Certainly, with di wings of knowledge, we go fit fly through skies wey pass imagination.
