Different forms of order; wikipedia


* "Order is a decoration. Order of the thistle. Order of Garter (above).An object, such as a medal, that is awarded to honor the recipient ostentatiously. Modern orders are usually open to all citizens of a particular country, regardless of status, sex, race or creed. Once awarded, an order may be revoked if the individual dies, commits a crime, or renounces citizenship. Rarely, a dissident becomes awarded, and due to personal beliefs refuses to accept it. Honor".

* "Chivalric orders are orders of knights that were created by European monarchs in imitation of the military orders of the Crusades. After the crusades, the memory of these crusading military orders became idealised and romanticised, resulting in the late medieval notion of chivalry, and is reflected in the Arthurian romances of the time".


*"A "fraternal organization" or "fraternity," is a brotherhood, though the term usually connotes a distinct or formal organization".

There is a lot of categories concerning this type of ordering. I will look into at a later stage, this is related to what I have already been looking at.

The aspect of order that i am most interested in is ordering items, not dictating order.

*"Metamodeling, or meta-modeling, is the analysis, construction and development of the frames, rules, constraints, models and theories applicable and useful for modeling a predefined class of problems".

*"Data synchronization is the process of establishing consistency among data on remote sources and the continuous harmonization of the data over time".

* "In computing, a canonical order is the order of elements that obeys a certain set of rules or specifications".

* "A classical order is one of the ancient styles of building design in the classical tradition, distinguished by their proportions and their characteristic profiles and details, but most quickly recognizable by the type of column and capital employed".

This encourages me to think about Bernd and Hilla Becher who photographed buildings that appear mundane, are slightly different and ordering them. Except that the design is not considered.
"Predominantly instrumental in character, who's shapers are the result of calculation and who's processes of development are optically evident. They are generally buildings where anonymity is accepted to be the style. Their peculiarities originate not inspite of, but because of the lack of design"
Anonyme Skulpturen, Becher.

*"In urban planning, the notion of "public order" refers to a city containing relatively empty (and orderly) spaces which allow for flexibility in redesigning the city's layout; such perceptions played an important role in the establishments of suburbs. According to this point of view, the traditional notion of a "downtown" is often seen as disorderly".

It is interesting that because there is an unused space it has a necessity to be filled, I don't see why, is it our greed that encourages us?

"It has been suggested that cultural affinity is a means to find protection from the perceived disorder of the rest of the city".

*" David Bohm proposed a cosmological order radically different from generally accepted conventions, which he expressed as a distinction between the implicate and explicate order, described in the book Wholeness and the Implicate Order:

In the enfolded [or implicate] order, space and time are no longer the dominant factors determining the relationships of dependence or independence of different elements. Rather, an entirely different sort of basic connection of elements is possible, from which our ordinary notions of space and time, along with those of separately existent material particles, are abstracted as forms derived from the deeper order. These ordinary notions in fact appear in what is called the "explicate" or "unfolded" order, which is a special and distinguished form contained within the general totality of all the implicate orders (Bohm, 1980, p. xv)".
I intend to evaluate these items further..
