the TRIMERAL SYSTEM in BIOLOGICAL TAXONOMY - universala ...

Since it is estimated that evolutionary embranchments will
eventually reach up to 40 or 50 hierarchical levels, then
theoretically a taxonomy should provide distinguishing
elements equal to the worst-case-scenario. Traditional
nomenclature has at its disposal only a meagre handful of
suffixes with which to meet this challenge. And although
they can be divided and subdivided by means of
“subtaxons” and “supertaxons”, that measure would be no
more than a palliative. Therefore, the list of taxon symbols
has been made as numerous as possible — while keeping
them well diversified, ordered, and recognisable. Their
attribution and distribution, in working practice, is up to the
specialist; who can now be as detailed or generalised as
desired, or as the ever insufficient data will permit.
The biological committees should supervise the naming and
distribution of ALL taxons, from variety up to kingdom, in
order to bring unity to handbooks and schoolbooks all over
the world. But perhaps this exacting task would be taken
over by the CBC anyway. Moreover, it should be a
welcome opportunity for filling in the all too numerous blank
spaces on the taxonomic map of Evolution.
By means of these relators it is now possible to move a
whole taxon upwards or downwards at will, without having
to change the taxon name, irrespective of its ending!
