According to this dictionary, decimalist has meaning in British English (https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/decimalist) as " a person who is in favour of decimalism". With decimalism defined as: “a method or practice based on units, divisions, or multiples of ten”
Although I understand your point of view, perhaps it’s the differentiation that would set this system apart from all the others. After all, it’s designed to organise our lives, isn’t it? It can never be too personal.
As far as the index is concerned, I’m surprised that nobody, unless I’m mistaken, has mentioned Vannevar Bush’s Memex. In any case, memory seems a good semantic field to explore. As a last resort, we’re left with Johnny Mnemonic.
I just kinda like the way that sounds. It is inspired from something the owner the company I work for said when we came up with some shortcut ways of doing a job. He said, yes it will work, but “it’s not the [company_name] way”.
I like registry in that it subtly implies you register things there. Just what kind of things you register is not prescribed, so…you could call it thingamaregistry. That’s too long to my liking though.
(need to have a think on that one > instead of having several systems, the AC and ID numbers could be positive and negative… might not bring much to the table / unecessary complexity)
It’s been brought up a few times in threads around here that parents don’t know what to do with their kids. (in a JD way, not in a life direction way)
I think JD is a life-org system. As such, each independent life should have its own system. Johnny.Dex, Lucy.Dex, Chicken.Dex seems like the most sensible, with a unified staple JD hierarchy underneath is the most logical dream for how JD might work for everyone. This way Chicken.Dex can be shared in its entirety with all caretakers without cross-system ID conflicts.
How about calling the Index the Atlas?
A bit of a double meaning…
Atlas - a collection of maps
But also, Atlas, doing all the heavy lifting. Holding up the weight of the world.
