Encyclopedia Nomadica (hosted at machinic.net) is intended as a source of knowledge about "dissenting", or "minor", modes of thought in science, philosophy and art. By "dissenting" and "minor" we mean those endeavors that fundamentally dissent from officially accepted paradigms and modes of thinking and doing, promoted and furthered by mainstream institutions. Experience has shown repeatedly that it is impossible for such endeavors to receive factual, cogent treatment in the online encyclopedias that are editable by the general public. The reason for this is quite simple: the views of the general public are shaped by the generally accepted, media-promoted modes of thinking, and it regards those modes of thinking, including the contempt and hostility they engender with respect to dissenting endeavors, as "impartial" and "factual". Consequently, exposing any article on dissenting modes of thinking to the editorial endeavors of the public perpetually condemns it to distortion, bias, and misinformation.

Articles in the Encyclopedia Nomadica are not subject to editing by the general public. Editorial access is restricted to those who are knowledgeable in the given subject matter, and is granted by permission or invitation only.

In TWiki, which is the software underlying the Encyclopedia Nomadica, collections of related articles are referred to as Webs. Every TWiki-based encyclopedia automatically contains three Administrative Webs: Main, TWiki, and Sandbox. The actual articles comprising the encyclopedia are contained in Subject Webs. At present, the Encyclopedia Nomadica contains the following subject webs:

• AethMetry Web - articles on topics pertaining to the science of Aetherometry
• AethMetryC Web - Catalan translations of articles in the AethMetry Web
• AethMetryS Web - Spanish translations of articles in the AethMetry Web

To access any of the Webs, select the appropriate entry from the Web options in the left-hand sidebar. Once you get the home page for that Web, you will be given the option of viewing a list of all articles currently within that Web.

If you would like to start a new Subject Web or create a new article within an existing Subject Web, please write to admin AT encyclopedianomadica.org.
