Nolej fit just mean plain informashon, but e also include laws and informashon wey dem don break down and gather togeda.
And I dey call any knowledge wey comprehensively and consistently fit break down plenty informashon from different angles, including di main laws, one "knowledge crystal."
For here, I go use di physical explanashon of how plane dey fly as example to show wetin knowledge crystal be. Den, I go explain wetin I dey think about knowledge krystalizayshon and how to use am.
How Plane Dey Fly
If sometin get wings, e go dey resist di force of gravity wey dey pull am down.
Apart from dat, small part of di force wey gravity dey pull down go turn to pushing force to make di tin move forward, because of di wings.
As di tin dey move forward, because of dis pushing force, e go create air current around am. When di air above and below di wing dey move at different speeds, e go create wetin dem call lift.
If dis lift dey almost di same as gravity, di tin fit glide.
Gliding no need energy. But if na only gliding, di tin go still come down small small. So, to stay for air for long, di tin go still need energy to fly with power.
If one aircraft get wings wey fit glide, e fit fly with power by using energy from outside.
One way na to use air wey dey blow up. If di aircraft wings catch di energy from di air wey dey blow up, e fit get direct force to go up.
Anoda source of energy from outside na wind wey dey blow from front. Di energy from wind wey dey blow from front, just like pushing force, fit turn to lift by di wings.
Flying with power fit also happen with energy wey di tin generate by itself.
Helicopters dey turn energy to lift by using rotating wings.
Airplanes dey turn energy to pushing force by propeller rotation, and dat one go indirectly generate lift.
Birds dey turn energy to upward force and pushing force by flapping their wings.
Di Work Wey Wings Dey Do
If we arrange am like dis, e go clear say wings get tight hand for how plane dey fly.
Since rotary wings and propellers na also wings wey dey rotate, helicopters, wey fit look like say dem no get wings, still dey use wings, and airplanes dey use two types of wings, including propellers.
Wings get dis work wey dem dey do:
- Air Resistance: E dey reduce gravity and dey change air wey dey blow up to force wey dey push up.
- Force Direction Conversion: E dey change gravity to force wey dey push forward.
- Airflow Differential Generation: E dey create differences for air speed to make lift.
Because of dis, how well sometin fit fly go depend on di wing area wey dey create air resistance, di angle e dey for against gravity, and di structure wey dey create air flow differences.
When we arrange am like dis, e go clear say one wing dey combine all di parts of flight into one single shape. Apart from dat, di wing dey in charge of everything: gliding without energy, using external energy, and using internal energy.
So, di wing be like di real form of di phenomenon of flight itself.
On di other hand, by understanding di different parts of flight wey dey combined inside di wing, e also possible to design systems wey dey separate and combine functions based on specific parts or situations.
Based on wetin we understand from bird wings, e go possible to tink of flight systems wey easy to make and design from engineering side.
Di reason why airplanes fit get a flight system wey different from birds by separating functions into main wings, tail wings, and propellers na because dem don organize am like dis and den divide di necessary functions into separate parts.

Even as I don explain flight and wings, wetin I write here no get any brand new ideas or discoveries about scientific rules or industrial products. All of dem na common knowledge.
But on di other hand, if we look at how dem combine and connect dis knowledge, or how dem similar to each other, you fit see say e get some smartness inside. E fit even be new because e get new explanations or ways of looking at tin, or e dey emphasize certain points more clearly.
For anoda word, di way dem organize di knowledge wey dem already know fit be new.
However, for di last part, wey go deep into di connections and similarities between dis knowledge to show di tight link between how plane dey fly and di structure of wings, e get sometin' like a "knowledge condensation point" wey pass just gatherin' known knowledge or organizin' how dem relate.
From di angle of makin' such combinations of knowledge better, findin' condensation points, and explainin' dem clearly, I believe dis text get newness.
I go like call dis makin' knowledge combinations better and findin' condensation points "knowledge crystallization."
If dem accept say dis text na new, e go mean say dem don successfully achieve a new crystallization of knowledge.

Pipo dey always talk say organizations need to change from way of workin' wey dey depend on human pipo and their special skills, to processes wey no dey rely on single individuals.
For such situations, dem dey talk say e important to create one knowledge base by writing down and gatherin' all di know-how wey experienced members get.
"Knowledge" for here mean knowledge wey dem don write down. Di word "base" get di same meaning like for "database." A database dey arrange data for a way wey user fit easily use. A knowledge base also dey arrange documented knowledge.
For here, e very important to think about creatin' knowledge base in two steps. Di first one na to extract and collect plenty plenty knowledge.
For dis stage, e no matter if di knowledge no dey organized; di main thing na just to gather plenty. Den, dem go organize di knowledge wey dem don collect.
Dividing de process into dis steps dey break down di difficulty of building a knowledge base into two problems wey easy to handle.
I dey call di collection of knowledge wey dem gather for dis first step a "knowledge lake." Dis name come from how e similar to di term "data lake" from data warehousing technology.
Now, after all dat long introduction, make we go back to de newness of organizin' airplanes and wings.
When I talk say e no get anything new from di angle of scientific principles and industrial product knowledge wey don already dey, e mean say if you break down di knowledge wey dey inside my text, everytin' wey fit apply don already dey inside de knowledge lake.
And when I talk say e get some newness for how tins dey associated and similar, e mean say de way knowledge dey relate and structure inside my text sometimes match with existing links or networks inside de knowledge base, and sometimes dem dey form new links or networks.
Apart from dat, di sign say my text fit get newness for knowledge crystallization dey suggest say e get one layer wey dem dey call "Knowledge Gembox," wey dey different from di Knowledge Lake and Knowledge Base. If di knowledge wey crystallize for my text still no dey inside di Knowledge Gembox, den dem fit say e be new.

Di knowledge crystals wey dem don add to di Knowledge Gembox no just dey interesting and sweet for mind.
Just like how dem fit use mineral resources for different different things, knowledge crystals, once dem discover their properties and how to use dem, get practical value.
For di example of flight and wings, I explain how dem fit apply dem to di design of flight systems.
By understandin' knowledge crystals well-well and turnin' dem into sometin' wey get practical uses, dem go change from wetin dem dey just admire inside di Gembox to tools wey engineers fit use.
Dis one dey suggest say e get one layer wey dem dey call di "Knowledge Toolbox." And apart from dat, no be only mechanical engineers wey dey design industrial products sabi use di Knowledge Toolbox. Dat na because e no be mechanical engineer's toolbox, but a knowledge engineer's toolbox.
Konklushon
We don already get plenty knowledge. Some of am no dey organized, like say na Knowledge Lake, while other parts don get structure, like Knowledge Base.
And from all dis, knowledge don turn to crystal and even turn to tools. But, e sure say plenty knowledge still dey wey dem never write down as hidden skill inside person mind, or wey nobody don fit turn to crystal or tool yet.
Di example of flight and wings dey show dis clearly.
Even with knowledge wey pipo sabi well and wey dey inside Knowledge Lakes or Knowledge Bases, e suppose get plenty chances to make am better and turn am to crystal, and by dat, create useful knowledge tools.
To discover such knowledge crystals no need scientific observation, extra experiments, or gainin' physical experience.
Dis one mean say no need to be an expert or get special skills or special rights. Just like with flight and wings, by simply organizin' and makin' better knowledge wey dem already know or discover through research, we fit uncover dis crystals.
Dis one dey show say knowledge don become for everybody. Everybody fit try dis crystallization. Apart from dat, we fit use artificial intelligence well-well, wey no get body.
By continuosly addin' knowledge crystals and tools to di Knowledge Gembox and Toolbox for dis way, we fit eventually reach places wey plenty pipo bin dey think say dem no fit reach.
Certainly, with di wings of knowledge, we go fit fly through skies wey pass imagination.
