Book of Unknowing
This is a living document. Unknowing is exploring the texture of the unknown. Types of Unknowings are possible ways to describe various textures of the unknowing that exists all around us, a substrate way of looking at things across all domains. The field is open and likely infinite. These are just some examples and thoughts.
