Editing Ontology:Q73 (section)

== Usage notes ==

Because "the Existentialist-Structuralist tradition" is not attested in any formal publications or publications reviewed by experts who would be appropriate to judge the history of philosophical fields, it is currently a [[:Category:S1 Signifier Items|motif Item]] (S1). To be classified as Z1, Items require some amount of verification as unique objects or material real-world phenomena; references are usually a sufficient proxy for this, or in some cases such as claims about physics, checking against verified Z2 propositions. The criteria for S1 Items are looser. Any concept imaginable which can be sufficiently defined to the point anyone could understand what it is is acceptable as long as it has enough relevance to other things within the Ontology project which {{em|are}} attested in existing sources. An S1 Item can be defined through examples in existing sources, through prose, or through Wavebuilder combinations (if something is truly so self-explanatory that a [[E:title comp]] would almost entirely describe it). Said another way, original research is partly allowed within S1 and S2 Items only if it is comprehensible in relation to existing sources, and does not overstate the confidence level or importance of its current findings. However, it's important to remember that even a lot of "original research" motifs can and will have sources, such as a YouTube video that displayed a phrase or pattern described in the motif Item.
