Stamp catalog


A catalog is simply an ordered list. For example, a stamp catalog lists postage stamps according to country, date of issue, face value, and the price you pay for a mint or a used copy. This ordering is useful for the philatelist. It helps her to build up a collection and to gain a familiarity with the subject.

For the Sliver Model, a useful catalog would lead to the development of an associated Sliver Theory. First, we need to think how to methodically arrange slivers to facilitate that end.

Just as a 2-dimensional organization of elements - the Periodic Table - has been developed to advance the atomic model, a nicely organized catalogue should prove very useful here.
