ELI5 Description

Problem:

I can not define simple words or ideas and concepts off the top of my head. What is a computation? What is a system? Who was Ayn Rand? What is Daemon by Daniel Suarez about? What is the Technological Singularity? What is Science? ELI5 (Explain Like I am Five) is an attempt to create my own personal dictionary.

Situation:

As humans we are always dealing with abstractions. Existence is made up of abstractions which contain further abstractions. At a certain point I question if people even know what they are talking about. There is a reason Lawyers always define their terms at the beginning of legal documents. Sometimes I do not know what I am talking about.

Use Case:

Examples:

If this is ever the case I need to break down what I am talking about an explain it to my five year old alter ego.

Goal:
