"Decentralization includes no top-down decision of what **categories** should or shouldn't exist."

EXACTLY!!

To generalize further: Decentralization includes no top-down decision of ANY of our digital tools of communication. That includes lots of things, categories being but one of them.

How can web of trust curate a list of categories? DCoSL, that's how. Decentralized Curation of Simple Lists.

After lists comes graphs: Decentralized Curation of Simple Graphs, DCoSG. Why is this important? Because we need to organize wikifreedia categories into a hierarchy, with parent-child relationships. Smartphones is a sub-category of electronics, that sort of thing. Who’s gonna organize the graphs? Your web of trust.
