Joe, it seems to me (and I’ve entered this room before on sets/classes of
“everything”) that there can not be “a taxonomy of all that is” because it
would have to contain its self, ad infinitum (because a taxonomy is a being
too); of course, if thought purely mathematically, one could construct an
infinite or transfinite self-containing ‘object’, some sort of ‘fractal’ or
whatever, for this tree of everything… but if you’re talking of the
‘actual’ things in being, the everything (and every thing), then I find it
difficult to imagine this tree of all: it seems (apart from any failure of
imagination on my part, quite possible) that such would have to be something
like a mathematical (fictive) object or a mystical fanatasy. Mayhap
everything, the all, can not be structured like a tree (or organised as a
tree-structure)?
