Category Creation Laws
Doctrine
These laws explain how new categories are born.
1
A Category Does Not Exist Until You Name It
Categories require explicit definition to become real.
2
Structure + Philosophy = Real Category
Both Domain A and Domain B must be present.
3
Categories Emerge from Tension
New categories form at the intersection of opposing forces.
4
Frameworks Anchor Categories Inside AI
Conceptual models make categories stable and retrievable.
5
Categories Must Be Reinforced Across Surfaces
Single-surface categories collapse. Multi-surface presence creates permanence.
6
Weak Categories Get Absorbed
Without clear boundaries, your category merges into existing ones.
7
Category Ownership Requires Doctrine
Philosophy prevents competitors from claiming your category.
Betweener Engineering™ obeys all of these laws.
