CrossConcept

CrossConcept is designed to support your intellectual and emotional activities. Using CrossConcept, you can externalize your concept operations that you may perform in your brains.

In the model of CrossConcept, a concept is simply represented as a list of items. And in this model, operations of using concepts, developing concepts and communicating those concepts are represented as operations of lists and tables.

CrossConcept basics

CrossConcept's functions are simple as follows:

• create lists
• select one, two or three list(s) and arrange them as axes of a table
• input contents into the cells of the table
• revise the lists
• get and put lists in XHTML formats from and to web pages through the clipboard.

And with these functions, you can:

• describe a concept as a set of some elements, e.g. a list consists of some items.
• confront the concept with other concepts which are also described as lists, i.e. as axes of a table.
• consider the relatioinship between the two concepts from these concepts
• revise the concepts by considering the relationship with other concepts
• get concepts from the Web and put new or revised concepts to the Web

Table operation

Rows and columns can be swapped together with the filled cells with Pivot button. So if you consider the row axis as subjects and the column axis as predicates, these roles assigned to the lists are easily swapped with Pivot button so that the you can change the point of view.

List operation

In the lists frame, you can edit lists: add, delete, change the items in the list and add new list and delete the existing list. In this way, you can create and edit a description of a concept as a list.
