COSOR Decoded
Whenever a new technology of knowledge emerges, it naturally encounters challenges in its articulation and implementation. The study of COSORs currently lacks a comprehensive lexicon, making it difficult to communicate ideas effectively. Project COSOR can be seen as an experimental response to this challenge.
In addition to initiating the creation of a visual language for COSOR, we are developing new terminology to bridge the communication gap. Below, you will find an evolving glossary designed to facilitate discussion and deepen understanding.
