I am currently in the process of laying down the fundamentals and overall scheme for an Objectivist
dictionary. It would differ from a usual dictionary in that there would be a list of constituent
concepts corresponding to each higher-level concept (non-perceptual, non-axiomatic).
One common-sense benifit of this could be a situation in which one wants to learn a new concept, but
its definition is quite helping. They could look at the list of constituent concepts they would have
had to have learned previously in order to have understood the principal one they are trying to
learn. They could then learn its consituent concepts first and come to eventually grasp the full
meaning of the concept they orginially sought to integrate.
