A small public vocabulary for theory development
Theoretical Psychology Lexicon
A lightweight lexicon of concepts used to characterize theories, phenomena, explanations, and mechanisms in theoretical psychology. At the moment, these are just personal characterzations of Noah van Dongen and very much a work in progress.
Grounded in Obsidian
The public site is a publication layer. The source of truth remains the local Obsidian Knowledge system, where entries can be revised, related, and connected to sources.
Built for reuse
Each entry has a short definition, a compact characterization, a fuller account, references, and typed links to related concepts.
Starting small
The first version focuses on theory, phenomena, explanation, and the mechanism cluster: components, properties, relations, and operations.
