Thoughts on categorization

Categorization...
1. Ultimately means inclusion vs. exclusion
2. Has a bias towards same vs. different
3. Is non linear in context of space
4. Assumes that everything has a basic 'something'
5. Relies on criteria and feedback
6. Is linked to utility
7. Assumes that space is fixed
8. Assumes that 'stuff' can be made static
9. Creates newness

Not sure how Foucault would have felt about this list!?!?!
