So we could do:

It feels like too many topics (and this is all up for revision!)

These are the tags that don't fall into any of these topics yet:

{'Player piano -- Construction': 1, 'Behavioral assessment': 1, 'Gait disorder': 1, 'Communication in architectural design -- New York (State) -- New York': 1, 'Time': 1, 'Science museums -- Exhibitions': 1, 'Forums (Discussion and debate) -- New York (State) -- New York': 1, 'Mathematical recreations': 1, 'Measurement': 1, 'Posture disorders': 1, 'Mathematics--Humor': 1, 'Museum techniques': 1, 'Science museums -- Management': 1, 'Gait in humans': 1, 'Posture': 1, 'Cyborgs -- History': 1, 'Mechanics': 1, 'Studio-X New York': 1, 'Architecture -- Study and teaching (Graduate) -- New York (State)-- New York': 1, 'Affect': 1, 'Time study': 1, 'Noise': 1, 'Player piano': 1, 'Mathematics--Popular works': 1, 'Human-machine systems -- History': 1}

So far 12 books are not covered by the topics as-is

Nice work @frnsys !

Topics don't necessarily correspond 1-to-1 with monuments, right? So we could have, for example:

The Monument of Neoliberal Nature as a weighted combination of : 

{ 
   'business': 0.8,
   'war': 0.7,
   'computation': 0.5,
   'economics:' 0.8,
   'politics:' 0.7
}

of some sort?

So that if you select a book that corresponds to 'computation' and 'economics', perhaps there's a process where the top two relevant monuments are chosen, and the book scanner tells you:

"Ah yes. You dedicate a portion of your soul to The Monument of Neoliberal Nature and The Monument for No Longer Being Human." (a shooting star falls in the background)

frnsys commented 6 years ago

I've narrowed it down to 5 monuments:

MONUMENT_NAMES = {
    'society': 'Monument to Peace and Balance',
    'biology': 'Monument to Flourishing Fauna',
    'architecture': 'Monument to Shelter\'s Hearth',
    'economy': 'Monument to Productive Exchange',
    'technology': 'Monument to Knowledge and Computation'
}

what do you think?

Composed like so:

MONUMENT_TOPICS = {
    'society': {
        'society': 0.5,
        'humanities': 0.15,
        'media': 0.15,
        'art': 0.1
    },
    'economy': {
        'economics': 0.6,
        'politics': 0.15,
        'systems': 0.1,
        'business': 0.15
    },
    'biology': {
        'biology': 0.65,
        'science': 0.2,
        'cognition': 0.05,
        'systems': 0.1
    },
    'architecture': {
        'architecture': 0.7,
