ABSTRACT
The domain of knowledge1 is more encompassing than that of wealth and materials. For dealing
with utility of knowledge, all factors (its scarcity, its total utility, its marginal utility, specifically its
diminishing marginal utility, its utilitarian value, its exchange value, etc.) that influence the
evaluation need to be considered. From a communication perspective, knowledge can be traced
backward and extrapolated forward, much like scientific parameter(s). From a structural
perspective, we propose that the processing of knowledge be based on the most basic and fewest
truisms. These truisms are, in turn, based on reality and they permit the characterization of
information and knowledge. To this extent, computational processing does not depend on the
philosophic writings of earlier economists. However, the truisms are validated from a longer-term
philosophic interpretation of how these truisms have survived so that they can be expanded and
reused in scientific and computational environments. This approach permits machines to process
knowledge based on the content of a particular piece of information and to enhance content, the
presentation and the wealth of knowledge that the information communicates.
