1. A computer-implemented method to make available a commonplace of information, comprising:

  • a. providing a computer storage to hold information added to the commonplace of information comprising a plurality of cnxpts representing concepts and at least one association representing a relationship between concepts represented by cnxpts among the plurality of cnxpts;

    b. defining a knowledge model comprising a set of zero or more fxxts based on the information stored regarding the plurality of cnxpts and the at least one association, fulfilling at least one condition selected from the group of;

    no association is marked with a fxxt, no cnxpt is marked with a fxxt, at least one cnxpt is marked with at least one fxxt, and at least one cnxpt participates in one or more associations marked with at least one fxxt;

    c. generating, using a map definition referencing the set of zero or more fxxts, a derived ontology for one or more domains of wisdom by extracting references to zero or more associations and zero or more cnxpts into the derived ontology;

    d. generating, using said map definition referencing the set of zero or more fxxts, a skeletal structure for a map instance for said one or more domains of wisdom from the extracted derived ontology wherein the resulting map skeletal structure of said map instance is based upon a manner of analysis selected from the group of;

    a spanning forest manner, a descendent forest manner, an enhanced descendent forest manner, an ascendant forest manner, an enhanced ascendant forest manner, and a structure comprising a combination thereof;

    e. generating, using said map definition referencing the set of zero or more fxxts, one or more organizations of knowledge to structure a map instance for said one or more domains of wisdom from the extracted derived ontology wherein the resulting map structure of said map instance is based upon a manner of map assembly selected from the group of;

    a spanning forest manner, a hierarchical manner, an enhanced descendent forest manner, an enhanced ascendant forest manner, a vertical manner, a directed graph manner, a graph manner, a horizontal manner, a depth augmented manner, a time augmented manner, a purlieu augmented manner, and a structure comprising a combination thereof;

    wherein vertical and horizontal are mere duals for labeling in combinations;

    andf. providing to the user said one or more domains of wisdom for utilization in a form selected from the group of;

    i. providing access to the data contained in said one or more organizations of knowledge for one or more domains of wisdom of said map instance for utilization directed at a solution of a problem the user is considering;

    andii. displaying a visual derivative of said one or more organizations of knowledge for one or more domains of wisdom of said map instance to a user, the displayed visual derivative of said map comprising at least one of;

    a categorization, a classification, an index tool for accessing indexed information, a dynamically refreshed associative search tool, a personal perspective associative search tool, a compound topic non-classification personal perspective associative search tool, a sub-topic relevance based search tool, a non-indexed dynamically refreshed external information sub-topic relevance based associative search tool with alerting, an ideating tool, an organizer, a planner, a table of information, a book of information, a document authoring tool, a document management and retrieval tool, a budget structure, a personal perspective adaptive dynamic structured report structure manager tool for spreadsheet users, a search memory holder, an organizing tool, a harmonized classification tool, an adaptive dynamic classification index preservation tool, a personal perspective adaptive dynamic classification index preservation tool, a personal perspective adaptive dynamic search-refreshing classification index preserving information access tool, an innovation assistant, a subject-specific communication tool, a subject managing communication tool, a compartmentalized security linked information protection access tool, a tool for managing structures within spreadsheets, a tool for managing idea specific organizational communications, a management tool for idea-centric commercial transactions, a communal tool to foster idea extension, a machine learning supervising tool, a portfolio manager, a personal perspective adaptive dynamic classification index preservation portfolio analysis tool, an ordering, a precedence presentation, a view of a machine learning result, a structured data model, a type to sub-type presentation, a related information associative search tool, a modeling basis, a knowledge map, a predicting basis, an assembly process map, a mapping appropriate to a user application according to a user decision, a mind map, a task plan, a workflow, a project structure, an evaluation map, a decision tree, a Bayesian network, a trait based associative search tool, a causality network, a neuron map, a patent map, a technology map, a product line map, a personal perspective decision analysis presentation, a prospective perspective decision analysis presentation, a dynamic personal perspective audience interest recommender analysis tool, a fact to legal element mapping, an evidence to legal element mapping, a sequence structure, a strategic plan, a curriculum, a futures analysis, a plan, a procedure, a proof structure presenter, a ranking list, a competitive environment presentation, a strategic direction under uncertain competitive pressure and technology uncertainty expected return planning tool, a belief polling tool, an intelligence collection tool, a rapid response supervised collaborative collection uncertain provenance intelligence response effectiveness analysis tool, a data product subscription manager, a technology transfer supervision tool, a patent clearance operations manager, an intellectual property leak detecting loss analysis tool, an ontology manager, a complex organization general ledger, a skills list, a dynamic skills list showing training needs, a language mapping, a patent claim tree, a detailed prior art search manager, a detailed dynamic search prior art search manager, a classification-expansive dynamic prior art enumeration showing prospective prior art for minimally described prospective concepts, a business progress rating presentation, a mapping demarcating what is known from that which is unknown at any point in time, a branching diagram, a logic diagram, a legal case presentation, a computation derivation map, a method map, a product line formation analysis tool, a product feature set manager, a technology product gap finder, a hot investment area finder, a product development coordination tool, a product potential analysis, and a combination tool formed from two or more of the foregoing directed at a solution of a problem the user is considering;

    whereby one or more domains of wisdom are formed by collections of references to cnxpts and references to zero or more associations among cnxpts.
