[tcs-lc] Rich & Nico dissecting nomenclatural acts and relationhips

[Nico Franz]

Hi all:

   Rich went through my list of currently 249 terms describing 
nomenclatural acts and relationships with or without potential concept 
implications. Keep in mind that many of these terms are no longer 
prescribed by the Codes. But they do occur in the literature and 
probably (I would think) are part of the joint TCS-LC scope.

   According to Rich's view, up to 93 of the 249 terms have vaguely 
conceptual implications; but only 26 definitely. Rich regards the 
typification processes as "determinations," whereas these fall under the 
"subjective" definition I sent out for discussion before. Under my own 
count, up to 86 of the 249 terms are "subjective/conceptual." So we are 
not that far away from one another. I almost certain that no two experts 
would think exactly the same about how to slice up this list. However 
many would be reasonably close to each other.

   I think this exercise helps drive home the point that the rules of 
nomenclature are complex and not without taxonomic implications. Drawing 
a clear and simple line between LC vs. TCS (each in their purest form) 
is not something the Codes would let us do easily. Maybe then, we're 
back in the realm of practicality and visions (see other threads), but 
in the meantime I hope we know a bit more about nomenclature's soft 
taxonomic underbelly.

Cheers,

Nico
