The other views that I forgot to add is that the knowledge objects have to components that can be combined in various ways and that there are no absolute elementary knowledge object. Every kind of knowledge object including the particles that more coherent objects are made of have the potential to be opened, explored and related to the greater world of concepts (knowledge objects.)
