# 🧩 Universal Hex Taxonomy (UHT) Vault Welcome to the **Universal Hex Taxonomy (UHT)** vault — a semantic workspace for modelling identity, structure, and meaning using a compact 32-bit framework. This vault provides tools, references, and examples to explore and apply UHT across domains. --- ## 🗂️ Core Sections - [[UHT Overview|UHT Overview]]— What is UHT? Origins, rationale, and structure. - [[UHT Trait Definitions Full List|UHT Trait Definitions Full List]] — All 32 traits organized by layer. - [[Hex Encoding Guide|Encoding Guide]]— How to encode objects, systems, and concepts into UHT format. - [[Hex Decoding Guide|Decoding Guide]] — Interpreting UHT codes into human-readable traits. - [[Universal Hex Assistant|Universal Hex Assistant]] - [[Trait Examples]] — Real-world examples for each trait. - [[Templates & Tools]] — Ready-made templates for encoding and comparing. - [[Use Cases]] — Applications in AI, engineering, design, ontology, and more. - [[Hex Codes Gallery]] — A growing catalog of encoded entities. --- ## 🧱 Trait Layers (Quick Links) - [[FF 00 00 00 - Physical Layer]] - [[00 FF 00 00 - Functional Layer]] - [[00 00 FF 00 - Abstract Layer]] - [[00 00 00 FF - Social Layer]] --- ## 🔧 Quick Tools - [[Hex Encoding Template]] — Use this to encode a new entity step by step. - [[Comparison Table]] — Side-by-side bitwise comparison. - [[Hex Decoder]] — Paste a hex code to reveal traits. - [[Trait Matrix View]] — Visual grid of trait activations. --- ## 🚀 Start Exploring - Try encoding something simple: a **light bulb**, a **PDF document**, or a **voting law**. - Or decode an example: `46 E1 A4 51` → [[Total Archive (UHT)]] --- ## 🔍 Tips - Keep encodings minimal and justified — only include traits that are strongly present. - Use tags like `#uht-physical`, `#uht-functional`, etc. to navigate by layer. - Check the [[UHT Notes Index]] for a complete map of this vault. --- > “A model is not the thing — but it lets us see the thing more clearly.” --- **Version:** UHT v1.0 **Maintainers:** Steven Holland & ChatGPT **Last updated:** [[2025-04-17]]
