The inherent failures of 'Information Science' or' Information Technology' to deal with knowledge, necessitate the emergence of 'Knowledge Science' for Knowledge is a precious and strategic wealth and source of income. The complexity and diversity of knowledge must be studied and new research works are needed for the Mass Production,Delivery and Consumption of Knowledge and thereby knowledgization of the entire people. Knowmatics and Knowledge Science are the newly emerging fields of study. Mathew's Theories of Knowledge Consumption -Production and Cybernetics of Knowledge provide the methodological and theoretical foundations of Knowledge Science.

1. DR. RAJU M. MATHEW

2.  Nobody is happy with mere food or the basic necessities and
pleasures of life but knowledge due to the existence of mind
and thoughts. From ignorance, we start to learn and realize
that there is no end of Knowledge. Everybody, either an
illiterate or a great scholar, is a seeker of ‘Knowledge’.
 It is Knowledge that keeps human being engaged and
distinct from all other creatures. Fear of the unknown, the
basic instinct of man, is the beginning of knowledge.
 With some knowledge, fear turns into curiosity that leads to
the quest for conquering the unknown, including the Human
Mind or the Self, the Nature, the Earth, the Sky, the
Death, the God, the Hell and the Heaven or Paradise.
 Faith, Ideology, Customs, Culture, Religion, Arts and
Science and Social Institutions or Organizations are a set of
collective knowledge evolved during the quest for the
unknown and are scattered in hundreds of Domains.

3.  Information originates from what is ‘known’
and never born from the unknown or out of
ignorance. Information adds value to the
known. Information is not a substitute for
the unknown. Any information separated
from the context and the known
phenomenon becomes meaningless and
irrelevant. The total amount of information
stored in or retrieved from the human brain
is less than one hundredth fraction of
Knowledge stored in or retrieved in the
brain.

4.  The building blocks of Knowledge are
concepts that are multi-dimensional and
interacting each other. Concepts have their
own independent existence unlike bits or
bytes, the building blocks of Data or
Information. Each concept can be expressed
or represented at different levels of
complexity, from simple to complex in
diverse levels of abstraction, with regard to
using simple word to highly technical jargon
besides using the language of an illiterate or
educated or the specialist in any spoken or
written language.

5.  Each concept can be expressed or presented in
several ways -simple to complex in the style and
languages of little children or illiterate or that of
scholars and experts. Meaning of a concept varies in
accordance with the relationships of other concepts
and also the way in which other concepts are
understood.
 Each Domain of Knowledge consists of hundreds of
interacting multi-dimensional concepts at diverse
levels of complexity with simple to complex levels of
abstraction and language. A Knowledge Module is an
in-depth elaboration of a concept or closely related
concepts. The entire Universe of Knowledge consists
of hundreds of mutually interacting Domains of
Knowledge.


6.  Knowledge can be either a Stock or a Flow. In other
words, Knowledge can be either Static or Dynamic. All
forms of Knowledge kept or recorded in books or
documents, including digital, constitute Knowledge
Stock or Static Knowledge and all forms of Knowledge
communicated either verbally or digitally constitute
Knowledge Flow or Dynamic Knowledge.
 While the use or consumption of Static Knowledge at
any point of time is less than 5 percent, the use or
consumption of Dynamic Knowledge is more than 80
percent. The total investment for Static Knowledge -
for creation, organization, storage, maintenance and
recalling is in terms of several billions in the forms of
records, books, libraries, knowledge management
systems, Data Bases and Data Centres, or even web
pages or Internet

7.  The structure of Knowledge is non-linear and
dynamic unlike Data or Information. On the
other, the structure of Data is linear and
static. The entire edifice of both Computer
and Information Technology is based on Data
Structure of linear and static in nature.
 Information Technology is basically a Data
Processing and Data Manipulating Technology
that can be nothing to do with
Processing, Organization and Communication
of Knowledge.

8.  A domain of knowledge is basically built upon
a single concept that can be expandable with
closely related concepts. When distantly
related concepts are interpolated in a
domain during the course of its growth, it
will lead to its division and the emergence of
a new domain or several domains that can be
either a part of the mother domain or quite
independent of the mother domain.

9.  Knowledge, starting from Module to Domain
to the Universe of Knowledge, can be
considered as a complex system with some of
the characteristics of a living thing. While a
module of knowledge consists of a core
concept and a set of closely related sub-
concepts, a domain of knowledge consists of
a series of mutually related core concepts
and their sub-concepts. The universe of
knowledge consists of all the domains of
knowledge.

10.  Knowledge is a complex system with
extremely complex and multi-dimensional
control and communication functions. With
the help of Advanced Mathematical and
Cybernetics tools, techniques, approaches
and philosophies, Knowledge can be
studied or decoded so as to ensure the
mass Production and Consumption of
Knowledge for the Humanity as a whole
irrespective of literacy or level of
education. Such a new branch of study can
be called as Knowmatics – the Cybernetics
of knowledge.

11.  It is high time to redesign and redefine
Information Communication Technology as
Knowledge Processing and Knowledge
Communication Technology on the basis of a
deeper understanding of the Complexities of
Knowledge other than what the Epistemology
Experts or Cognitive Scientists or Knowledge
Managers or Knowledge Engineers or even
Educationists are saying for they end not
with 'Knowledge' but with 'Data' or
‘Information‘.

12.  Knowmatics was originated in 2005 thanks to more
than 30 years of research on the diverse aspects of
Knowledge besides the knowledge dealt in the
Bible, the Koran, the Vedas and Upanishads and
Ayurveda besides Modern Science and Technology
including Social Sciences. It is based on Mathew's
Theories of Knowledge Consumption-Production.
 Knowmatics has wide application in revolutionizing
Education, Professional Practices, Scientific
Research, Decision-Making and above Knowledge-
Intensification of all Social Production Processes.
Knowmatics can also be applied in designing the
Future Internet, including Internet of Things, Peoples
and Services.

15.  Knowmatics is the result of more than thirty
years research by Dr. Raju M. Mathew depending
solely upon his own limited means. Further
research and development in Informatics can only
be carried out by international funding and
support.
 Universities and young researchers must come
forward to conduct further studies and research
on the various aspects of Knowmatics, including
new courses in Knowmatics at different levels.
 The Arab World must come forward to conduct
further studies and research and mobilize
resources, both money and knowledge, for
setting up the Arab Knowledge Bank.
 Further details can be had from Dr. Raju M.
