LC Classification × P³

The shelf order of the whole problem.

The full Library of Congress Classification, all twenty-one classes, A to Z, shown to the second tier - as the organizing spine for cross-referencing experts, authors, and solutions by domain. The P³ axis shows which question each class most informs. Risk-relevant classes are highlighted.

P1 Possibility

Can it happen? Capability and mechanism. Mostly Q (Science / AI) and T (Technology / cyber).

P3 Predictability

Would we see it coming - and could we steer it? Governance and foresight: H, J, K, U, V.

Meaning

What we owe one another. Ethics, philosophy, religion: B (and its split).

How it is used

Each expert, author, and proposed solution is tagged with the LC class that best fits its domain, so a reader can move from a risk (on the LCSH Outline) to the classes that bear on it, to the people and solutions classified there. Example, Q335 Artificial intelligence: Hinton, Bengio, LeCun, Kosko, Russell, Bostrom.
