Know the name of the concept later.
from Coining your own terminology
Know the name of the concept later.
- Advantages of using existing terms rather than unique terms include the ability to Google and share stories with others.
- There's a common pattern of having a concept X that you thought of as far as your mind could go, only to find out later that it has a name.
- [/blu3mo-public/ some knowledge I had before I knew about it](https://scrapbox.io/blu3mo-public/ some knowledge I had before I knew about it).
- It would be nice to know the name already attached to the [/blu3mo-public/ concept](https://scrapbox.io/blu3mo-public/ concept).
- [Advantages of using existing terms instead of proprietary terms](/en/Advantages%20of%20using%20existing%20terms%20instead%20of%20proprietary%20terms) ：
- > Googleable
- > Then you can use [Shoulder of the Giants](/en/Shoulder%20of%20the%20Giants), [Wisdom of the ancients
- > Discussions about the concept (including counterclaims)
- > Post-XX against XX, and so on.
- > Can share the story with others who know the word
- > If others don't know the word, they can easily communicate it by Googling it (depending on the case).
- (With Scrapbox, if you make the concept X a link, you can replace it all at once after you know it was named, which is convenient.)
This page is auto-translated from /nishio/後から概念の名前を知る using DeepL. If you looks something interesting but the auto-translated English is not good enough to understand it, feel free to let me know at @nishio_en. I'm very happy to spread my thought to non-Japanese readers.
