STANDARDS GUIDES LIST

Elements 'Set 1001'

File and List Titling, Grouping and Tiering

This Set 1001, of Elements/Standards, under design and authoring, features designs and ideas that are © Copyright 2025-2026 Talon 38 FileMedia Ltd. This Set is currently in 'Pre-Draft' status and is still in rough drafting.

Multiple Standards

For Files, Folders, Menus, Bookmarks, Favorites, Collections, Libraries & Lists

Governing Factors

Titling length totals; partial matchup for syncs, backups & duplicates; properties values in titles; governing file/folder/list titling vs. derivative titling; adjusting sort order via punctation/letters/numerals

Designers Ongoing Notes

Standards designed are fully optional, non-proprietary, non-committee and non-governing upon readers.

Standards Guides are the 'product', and as thus manifest as 'produced' copies, while the overarching mental design ties to "Elements in a Set," the word 'element' referring to all portions of data, to as small as 1-bit, whereas the word 'guide' refers more specifically to the document form for publishing, and not the usage and application of associated techniques as methods, though the guides are the most lasting and solid source for encapsulating long-lasting instructional and standardizing methods to apply to sets of digital elements.

Longer Term Plans for my Standards Guide to 'Set 1001' of Elements 

The Windows Start Menu, Windows File Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, OneDrive, SharePoint, and many more applications and services are of capabilities and features enabling users to customize textual titling and arrangement of a great amount of data, and pointers to data. Such robust 'features' (which to some persons another word [as misnomer of] 'power(s)' is more familiar, our familiarity stemming from hearing others select such wording with great repeated predilection) at the ready in contemporary computing, as a state of continual and nominal hourly and daily regularity in 2025 Human Factors, is by now consistently, and by way of craftsmanship by hardware and software contributors, of very strong suit. (Important to me, and yet anoher of thousands of wording and method techniques I hold as important for the internet and computer/device reformation I aim to do my part toward, I reserve usage of word 'power' to hold a large suite of aspects, akin to an XML language built on the language, laden with attributes and elements, and reserved for special sole descriptive pertinence, applicable to all material items/beings existent, and whether seeming in blatant motion enough or not, for animal, mammal, human, mechanical device, and electronic device millisecond adjusting small levels of throughput) even competing differing methods from which to optionally select, to my knowledge have never before been scaffolded and tested for arrangement design aspects which could in long months preclude much tedious rework, or worse, long sessions working often to find pointers to data or the data itself, when mental view of depictions as displayed in disparate view rectangles at differing times of sequencing, present the computer, device, or internet user with an inconsistent set of equal-tier menu, folder, file, or favorite/bookmark titles, the inconsistencies of which no longer prompt effective mental notice of structure and probability levels of a file, tag, favorite, or other 'element' being of reasonable notice of either yay or nay, as to mentally proceed without 'either or' and instead 'neither nor' offers scant user interest, which then presents the user with balk. Such hassles we can study, and then improve, to initial surprise, beyond Mohr's and Murph's postulates, to continually perform at such device minute-to-minute subtasks far in excess of regression any longer being potential at any time in repeated sequences, very glad outcomes of these design efforts. Had these design efforts not been formalized by me for product and documentation purposes, the sober yet appealing and avidly enjoyable creative and productive mode of approach to such otherwise mundane task issues probably could not have produced such excellent results of great merit. 

Degraded capacities in the concepts held in textual wordings, when degraded below a certain level of notability of much meaning or association to steer selections of next moments device steering mental maneuvers, I've discovered arise from word selections, and/or word embedment positioning in titles of occluded ability to prompt attractive and appealing continued mental steering of device interfaces, meaning no dramatic interrupt, but an ensuing series akin to launch after launch again of a browser, which is draining to users. interrelating textual combination of [1] differ or contrast with other text adjoining, and [2] association and comparative displacement plus commonality in offset yet with similarity of super-set with other text adjoining. As a spurious aside into much greater detail, my designs have been realigned more with time, toward robust titling very resistant to such constrsat, differ, displacement, and commonality of teams of same tier titlings intitially renamed in such a manner that those qualities nearly never degrade or become inadequate.

of which design effort aims to streamline personal ways at frequent to infrequent tweaking of the many textual elements these applications regularly adjust and depict. 

Initial less formal and lesser distributed digital file versions are slated for sale at lower entry cost to readers yet still at very fair value based on merits of the information within. Such earlier Editions, not corrected nor expanded, start not as comprehensive as should further Editions should become eventual extensive expansions by such stages of attaining very high numbered Versions/Editions. Once such refined and often corrected/appended Editions are readied, I aim to canvas notable publishers as to working with my Standards Guides towards popular growth in proliferation, in my aims to maximize readership, providing experts and laypersons reading material to soberly, enjoyably, and gradually undertake major restarts in Internet and Computer/Devices reform, 2025-2030.

Readers can opt to self-study and self-teach Default Methods, and deviate in other cases other than Default paths I've definitively "Set" in Standardization, with such standardization limited in leverage, to book project copyright of the Guide formats only, and no other reservation of rights is performed by me.

Customer - User - Reader Freedom and Self-Determination

Defaults are designed to feature multiple lists of methods in human processes (Human Factors Systems Engineering) and also feature multiple lists of parameter/issue values/states (for ranges, domains, and instances involved in Standards Guide 1001 descriptive notations non-advisory and non-proscriptive, yet indicative by nature, as captioned, etc.)

The button below is readied for when the first non-draft Edition 1.0 in .pdf format becomes available. Until then, if the button is clicked then users will have the option of claiming a great music track from my digital composing efforts, for a very small price.
