Ancestral Fields

Fields are categorized differently based on context: Physics (representing physical quantities in space), Database/IT (structuring data storage), or Agriculture (land usage). Key types include scalar/vector (physics), text/numeric/Boolean (IT), and crop/orchard (agriculture). 

Types of Fields by Context:

• Physics/Science Fields:

  • Scalar Field: Assigns a single value (magnitude only) to each point (e.g., temperature map).

  • Vector Field: Assigns magnitude and direction to each point (e.g., wind speed, electric field).

  • Tensor Field: Describes complex deformations (e.g., strain tensor).

  • Force Fields: Gravitational, electromagnetic, weak, and strong nuclear forces.

• Database/IT Field Types (Data Types):

  • Text/String: Stores alphanumeric characters (e.g., VARCHAR).

  • Numeric: Stores integers (Whole Number) or decimal numbers (Floating Point, Currency).

  • Date & Time: Stores specific dates and times.

  • Boolean: Stores Yes/No or True/False.

  • Binary Large Object (BLOB): Stores multimedia data like images or audio.

  • Calculated/Rollup: Populates data based on formulas or aggregated records.

• Agricultural Fields:

  • Cropland: Land used for growing crops like wheat or corn.

  • Orchard: Land reserved for fruit cultivation.

  • Rangeland: Open land for grazing livestock.

  • Vineyard: Land specifically for growing grapes.

• Mathematics (Algebraic Structures):

  • Rational Numbers: Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction.

  • Real/Complex Numbers: Numerical sets used in analysis.

  • Finite Fields: Fields with a finite number of elements
