<p>Formalization, correctness is about models. [1]<p>There are formal methods where the underlying model is mathematically sound. There are semi-formal methods where the underlying model is structured but not proven to be sound.<p>For example, in your case ("organizes knowledge") a formal method is ologs from category theory. That method assures that the concepts and their relationship in your knowledge base are mathematically correct.<p>When you want to transfer that knowledge base into a documentation system you might want look for a mathematically sound model, but I'm afraid there is no such model, so what's left is a semi-formal method / a likely-correct model.<p>Right now I'm building such a likely-correct model for writing, contact me for more info.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.osequi.com/slides/formalism-correctness-cost/formalism-correctness-cost.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.osequi.com/slides/formalism-correctness-cost/for...</a></p>

<p>Perhaps there is no such thing like absolute truth.<p>In category theory / ologs, a formal method for knowledge representation, the result is always mathematically sound, yet ologs are prefixed with "According to the author's world view ..."<p>On the other way truth, even if it's not absolute, it's very expensive.<p>Lately AWS advocates a middle ground, the lightweight formal methods, which are much cheaper than formal methods yet deliver good enough correctness for their business case.<p>In the same way MIT CSAIL's Daniel Jackson advocates a semi-formal approach to design likely-correct apps (Concept design)<p>It seems there is a push for better correctness in software, without the aim of perfectionism.</p>

<p>I've recently created a likely-correct piece of software based on these principles.<p><a href="https://www.osequi.com/studies/list/list.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.osequi.com/studies/list/list.html</a><p>The structure (ontology, taxonomy) is created with ologs, a formal method from category theory. The behavior (choreography) is created with a semi-formal implementation (XState) of a formal method (Finite State Machines)<p>The user-facing aspect of the software is designed with Concept Design, a semi-formal method from MIT CSAIL.<p>Creating software with these methods is refreshing and fun.
