"Polynym" is an interdisciplinary knowledge acquisition effort to collect superordinate theoretical constructs, such as Freud’s three aspects of the human psyche (Id, Ego, Superego). I use the term polynym (literally, ‘many-word’) to mean an array of subordinate elements that defines a superordinate axiom. Collecting diverse polynyms in a single location will stimulate interdisciplinary thought, collaboration and debate. Like a thesaurus, synonym sets in a lexical database are highly aligned in meaning. In the context of a superordinate construct, synonym sets may be more abstract. Creating super/subordinate synonym sets is a unique way to define and compare axioms.
