Categorization: Epistemology

Knowledge is based on categorization (taxonomy)(eg Foucault),  process usually  involves reducing the complexity of perceived system to enable this, ( in extreme case  into simple icon?)  eg Swan > b  and then classification as swan/not swan
utilising dualism.

re Taleb

Dualism a boundary re directional currents in flow?

reduction of complexity more exaggerated with distance >prejudice (Kelly)

therefore knowledge (categorisation)  denies multiple readings(textuality)?
(sounds like dualism)
