Usage notes[edit]
Color swatch[edit]
The blue pronounced field_exstruct color swatch, typically paired with the pronounced ES philosophy tag, can be used for any philosophy believed to be part of the Existentialist-Structuralist tradition, as well as for any middle-of-the-road capitalist ideologies including center- or right-Liberalism. The blue color swatch has a very broad range of meanings to the point it can almost seem like it is actually "the default color swatch". This is considered more of a feature than a bug, as it can be used to draw a loose distinction between general-interest things and highly specific things.
The ES philosophy tag is meant to apply specifically to philosophies currently believed to be part of the Existentialist-Structuralist tradition. If a particular philosophy does not directly tie into the historical phenomenon of forming this tradition then it should given another philosophy tag such as HAS (humanities, arts, and social sciences) — this tag incidentally also uses the field_exstruct color due to its loose association with language and signifier meanings.
Some other philosophy tags which have their own distinct philosophical content but which are currently considered to fall inside the Existentialist-Structuralist tradition are also given the blue field_exstruct color swatch, or on older pages simply lumped in with pronounced ES. These include pronounced Aa (psychoanalysis) and DG (schizoanalysis). W (Western Marxism) was originally given the blue color swatch due to its loose association with psychoanalysis and existentialism, before it was eventually given its own strawberry-red color swatch.
42 as existentialist number[edit]
The number 42 was assigned to this Item in reference to Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, because within that fictional narrative for whatever reason 42 was said to be a number of the meaning of individual existence. This sense-label may be used for uses of the Item number "42" in which it is being referenced figuratively to make another Item number meaningful.
