Qualities are the Basic Knowledge Component and Building Block
Relativity
Minds are comparative systems.
They are so much comparison-oriented that even the most advanced minds only define absolute as what would not be relative,
therefore rendering the concept of absolute, relative also. In fact, at least for our minds, relativity seems to be the
only absolute.
Accordingly, learning is a powerful example of the power of comparing, and comparing what has been compared.
Neural Patterns
Somewhat "technically" speaking, natural minds, for example, manage and compare neural patterns.
A neural pattern is a quality, an evaluation that gets compared to others, similar and dissimilar,
deriving things like identification, classification, and relation, which are also further neural patterns.
Qualification
In more "common" talk, these neural patterns are qualities.
In fact, qualities get qualified, and qualification gets characterized by qualities, starting with some fundamental qualities.
Identification
A most fundamental and generalized quality has to be identification as, if some thing,
feeling or concept cannot be identified, in some way, it cannot be managed.
Although a fundamental quality in its own rights, identification is also a specialization of a more general qualification
process: classification.
While management is not possible without identification, it gets truly enabled through classification.
Classification
Comparing qualities allows minds to associate and separate qualities, creating further qualities like groups, types, and
classes.
In fact, in minds, all the things, beings, entities, relations, concepts, and feelings that we manage,
what will often be called knowledge resources or simply resources, are quality collections, or more specifically:
dynamically identified and classified quality collections.
Relations
While on the issue of fundamental qualities, there is at least one other fundamental qualification specialization: relations.

principles,
as well as to better understand and manage the nature and structure of knowledge.
